I am extremely honored to have been re-elected as President of REOMAC for 2009 and I look forward to working with an exceptionally dedicated Board of Directors.
I am so pleased to announce that the officers working with me this year are: Beatrice Davis, Vice-President; Benton Neese, Vice-President; Donna LaPorte, Secretary, and Kathy Jeffers Volk, Treasurer. Also serving this year are Mia Semo; Sara Wait;, Art Acosta; Frank Lougher; Cynthia Nierer; John Murray; LeeAnn Axell; Ivan Choi and Craig Wolfe. Please join me in welcoming these dedicated and talented people to the Board.
I have been actively involved in this organization since 2001 and watched in awe as our membership has grown to over 1,200 members. The level of education that is offered at our dinner meetings and conferences is exceptional. I pledge that this will continue through this year and well into the future. The Board and committees are already hard at work on our conferences and dinner meetings, as well as our certification courses. The programs will be cutting edge and informative. One of the reasons we continue to hold such worthwhile conferences is the support we receive from our incredible sponsors and exhibitors. Their financial support is instrumental in allowing us to put on such fantastic conferences. If you want to sponsor or exhibit, now is the time to sign up. The brochure and registration forms are on line at www. REOMAC.com.
The Board has listened to members concerns about the size of our conferences. We will offer all members early registration and will limit the number of attendees. It is our hope that this will increase the benefits of education and networking at our conferences.
The changing environment of the default industry and especially REO has altered the mortgage industry. Subprime lenders are going out of business, loans are harder to come-by, more people than ever before are in foreclosure. As professionals in this industry, we all need to strive to be the best that we can be. Not only for the thousands of homeowners that will lose their homes, but for the thousands of homeowners that we can help keep in their homes. REOMAC® is your tool for education and keeping up on the latest news and statistics. We will continue to offer you the best that we can give in education and networking.
This year we will be holding dinner meetings across the country. As in the prior years, we have sponsors lined up to ensure that the high quality of dinner meetings that you have experienced in the past, will continue in the future. If you are interested in sponsoring a dinner meeting, please contact the REOMAC® office.
I am so thrilled to be leading this great organization. I look forward to a very productive and successful year. Thank you for your trust and confidence, I will not let you down.
Shelley Kaye
2009 REOMAC® President
