Why Diversity is Important to the Mortgage Lending Industry
9:00 a.m. – 10:15 a.m.
Annapolis Ballroom 1 & 2
The mortgage lending industry has made great strides in the past decade in terms of workforce
diversity. Minorities, while still a small percentage of the lending workforce, are no longer
invisible in the industry. The current lending environment is threatening to rollback the recent
gains even though lending to minorities is still likely to outpace loans to non-minorities. Join us
in this session as we hear industry professionals provide their insights on: What senior managers
need to know about diversity & inclusion, diversity and inclusion as a core value, implementing
the “all levels of business activities” mandate in the new housing legislation, managing diversity
in a down market, new opportunities to diversify workforce and re-thinking supplier diversity
strategies.
