MReport Announces its 2015 “Power Players” & “Leading Ladies” Honorees

WIH August

 

Today the MReport announced its 2015 “Power Players” and “Leading Ladies” honorees as part of its August 2015 Special Issue “Women in Housing.” This issue highlights the accomplishments and achievements of the women working within in the housing and mortgage industries and is also dedicated to the issues women face in trying to obtain the dream of homeownership and a mortgage loan.

The 2015 “Power Players” are mortgage and housing veterans with roles in both the government and private sector. In addition to powerful female leaders, 40 additional women were selected for MReport’s 2015 “Leading Ladies” list. The women selected for this honor were nominated by their peers in the industry, who cited all the qualities that make them strong leaders—such as their intelligence, drive, and pursuit of innovation.

MReport’s Women in Housing honorees will also be acknowledged at the Women in Homeownership Leadership Forum at the Five Star Conference on Friday, September 18, 2015 at 1:15 PM to 2:15 PM, where the keynote speaker will be the Honorable Sheila Bair (FDIC Chairperson 2006-2011). Bair was the 19th Chairperson of the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) from 2006-2011 and has an extensive background in banking and finance in a career that has taken her from Capitol Hill, to academia, to the highest levels of government. Additional speakers include “Power Players” Mary Frances Burleson, Kathryn Madison, and Kathleen Malone.

“The female leaders working in the housing and mortgage industry are indispensible,” said Five Star President and CEO Ed Delgado. “Through the recognition of the MReport and the Women in Housing Leadership Forum, a spotlight will be put on the innovators shaping our industry.”
