NASHVILLE—The Mortgage Bankers Association honored Susan Milazzo, CEO of the California MBA, Sacramento, Calif., with its Andrew D. Woodward Distinguished Service Award.

NASHVILLE—“The most valuable place is up front, but it comes with a cost,” said Dethra Giles, CEO of ExecuPrep, Atlanta.

NASHVILLE—MBA Education, the award-winning education division of the Mortgage Bankers Association, recognized 47 individuals who earned the Certified Mortgage Banker (CMB®) designation at a ceremony held here at the MBA 2022 Annual Convention & Expo.

NASHVILLE—Presentations by government agencies at major events such as the Mortgage Bankers Association’s Annual Convention & Expo can be pretty staid affairs. Not so this year. On Monday, Ginnie Mae, the Federal Housing Finance Agency and FHA made one major announcement after the other, literally creating their own news cycle.
