“I was glad to participate on this important panel and enjoyed the discussion and insights of the other panelists a great deal,” said Ibrahim. “It is an interesting and exciting time in our industry as the economy and housing market start to recover. When I am at events like this one, where I am surrounded by mortgage banking professionals like me, the positive changes become even more apparent.”

On March 27^th in Los Colinas, Texas, Bazemore provided the keynote address at the Five Star MPact 2013 conference. The event was designed to foster discussion and collaboration among leaders in the housing and mortgage servicing industries.
