DSNews The homepage of the servicing industry
On Wednesday, April 27, the Five Star Institute will present its 12th Annual Five Star Government Forum at The National Press Club in Washington, D.C.
As the industry works to support the American Dream of homeownership, ensuring clear lines of communication between mortgage industry stakeholders and their government partners is more critical than ever. Five Star’s Government Forum is a daylong gathering where mortgage servicing leaders and government agencies can discuss the industry’s most pressing issues and work to find solutions together. Join top servicing executives and representatives from the CFPB, HUD, FHFA, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae, and others as we chart the course for the housing economy in 2022 and beyond.
The day will feature a number of informative panels discussions and educational sessions, kicking off with Lopa P. Kolluri, FHA’s Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Office of Housing joins us to discuss FHA’s goals and priorities for 2022, as well as how the mortgage servicing industry can best partner with the Administration to support the system of American housing and homeownership.
Also on hand for the event will be FHFA Acting Director Sandra L. Thompson for a Lunch & Keynote Conversation. Ed Delgado, Chairman, Five Star Global, will sit down with Sandra L. Thompson for an exclusive conversation discussing her vision and priorities for FHFA, the headwinds the industry is facing, and the legacy she hopes to leave behind during her time at the Agency.
