The Alaska Mortgage Bankers Association has served Alaska’s mortgage and housing industry since 1976. AMBA is a 501(c)(6) trade association and is not a political action committee. Because AMBA engages in legislative advocacy, a portion of dues is not deductible as a business expense; the current percentage appears on your invoice.
