The Brown-Wells Service Award was established by the WMLA in 2014 to honor an individual within the Wyoming mortgage lending community who exemplifies service above self in commitment to his or her profession, customers, and the community they live in.

The award was named after Mike Brown and Scott Wells who were both Officers/Directors of the WMLA Board.  Brown was one of the founding members of the WMLA which was formed in 1986.  Both individuals held high ethical standards in business and used their professional knowledge to serve the community in many ways.
