Registration is open for ACUMA’s Annual Conference on September 22-23, 2020.
It’s been a challenging year for us all, but we’ve found a way to bring you a great event and recognize the contributions of those in our industry. Our conference, “Celebrating Credit Union Mortgage Heroes” is dedicated to all the front-line financial workers who play a vital role in making it possible to put people in homes every day, especially during the pandemic. We’ll be highlighting credit union heroes and sharing some videos, too.
As in past conferences, there will be provocative and interesting speakers, as well as lots of fresh sessions on hot topics. Perhaps best of all, you’ll have no travel or hotel fees. You can participate—virtually—from your workplace or home, wherever you have Internet service. And you can pick the sessions that you’re interested in.
Here are some of the nationally known speakers we have planned:
- Derek Brummer, President of Mortgage for Radian Group, who is responsible for overseeing the company’s Mortgage Insurance and Mortgage Risk Services businesses, including developing strategies for continued growth as the mortgage industry evolves.
- Mark Casale, Chairman, President & CEO at Essent and its founder, who has more than 25 years of financial services management experience, including senior roles in mortgage banking, mortgage insurance, bond insurance and capital markets.
