Time and again, Lenders One Members cite the networking opportunities as one of the most valuable parts of their membership. Conference calls, webinars, fly-in meetings and LinkedIN groups are scheduled regularly to discuss topics suggested by Members, often with guest participants who are experts in the field. These forums are established specifically for Members to learn and share with peers and have helped Members improve their operations.
Lenders One Conferences take place bi-annually, and bring the entire Membership and Investor/Vendor partners together for two days of learning and networking. These Conferences represent a significant member benefit and are constructed specifically to address Member needs and the current industry climate. At conference, educational sessions cover everything from technology to legislative updates to marketing. Past keynote speakers have included Fannie Mae’s vice president and chief economist, Doug Duncan; HUD Deputy Assistant Secretary for Single Family Housing, Vicki Bott, and sports celebrity and author Kyle Mayard. Ample time is scheduled for formal and informal networking sessions and discussions, creating remarkably productive results.
