Call for Nominations: MBA NewsLink 2023 Tech All-Star Awards; Deadline Jan. 20

The MBA NewsLink 2023 Tech All-Star Awards nomination period is underway. Nominations will be accepted through Friday, Jan. 20.

Since 2002, the MBA NewsLink Tech All-Star Awards have celebrated industry leaders who have made outstanding contributions in mortgage technology. Awardees receive a plaque; are honored during a live ceremony at the MBA Tech Solutions Conference & Expo, taking place Apr. 2-5 in San Jose, Calif.; and are featured in a profile in MBA NewsLink.

The Tech All-Star Awards celebrate individuals who have made outstanding technology contributions to the mortgage industry. Contributions may include new products, methods, designs, standards or other achievements that have advanced the mortgage industry. It may be a one-time contribution during the year; or a series of contributions over an extended period (i.e., a “lifetime achievement”). The Tech All-Star awards are intended for individuals whose contribution can be documented and readily understood by others across the industry.

Use this form to submit your nomination(s).

There is no entry fee. Nominations will be accepted until 8:00 p.m. ET (5:00 p.m. PT) on Friday, Jan. 20.

Nominees must be employed by an MBA member company (Regular, Premier or Associate). Self-nominations are permitted. Previous winners remain eligible on a yearly basis. Nominations must be for an individual who has made significant and outstanding contributions in mortgage technology.
