CMLA Awards

The Colorado Mortgage Lenders Association recognizes individual excellence and service to the mortgage lending industry and the CMLA through its awards program. Awards are typically presented at the annual convention, but may be presented in other venues when appropriate or necessary.

With the exception of the Bacon Award and the Nielsen Award which are presented annually, and the Still Award which is presented annually these awards are presented periodically to individuals who meet the criteria set forth for the awards. It is not anticipated that these awards will be presented annually. Rather they will be presented only when deserving individuals clearly meet the specified criteria. In the event that there are years where no nominee meets the criteria for an award, such award(s) will not be presented.
