All members must abide by our Code of Ethics. Please keep in mind the following:

WE DO NOT LICENSE PRIVATE LENDERS. Anyone telling you they are licensed by AAPL is a scammer; there is no such thing as a “private lender license.” Please see here, here, and here for examples of fake/scammer licenses and credentialling.
No one is authorized to use the AAPL logo as proof of membership. We provide a specialized member emblem instead.

AAPL’s Excellence Awards

While AAPL’s Excellence Awards model is now ubiquitous among private lender events, the original honors program that recognizes a Rising Star, Member of the Year, and Community Impact Recipient is the gold standard for distinction among private lenders — and backed by the oldest and largest national association for the profession of private lending.

Nominations are open until August 30, 2026, with voting from September 7-30, 2026. We’ll announce recipients at our Annual Conference.

Member of the Year (MOTY): This award goes to a member based on their deep expertise, unique value, and strong commitment to clients and the industry.

Rising Star: Rising Stars are members who have accomplished outstanding growth in their company or industry sector over the past year.

Community Impact: Recipients improve their local communities or our industry through volunteering, development programs, or civic efforts.

See past award winners, award rules, and participate in the 2026 nomination and voting process here.

AAPL Annual Conference Networking

Even as our conference has grown to the largest event in the private lending space, we’ve sought to provide opportunities for a more personal “culture of collaboration” to foster ground-breaking partnerships and business-building deal flow. Check out the Conference Overview & Schedule or AAPL’s Annual Conference App for up-to-date timing and additional information.

VIP RECEPTION // Enjoy cocktails and hors d’oeuvres while catching up with VIPs from across the country, all overlooking the gorgeous Las Vegas Strip. AAPL Members may RSVP during conference registration at no additional cost; for non-members it is $199/ticket.
