MBA's Future Leaders Program Honors 35 at Annual Convention

The Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) recognized 35 mortgage professionals in a graduation ceremony for MBA’s Future Leaders Program held at MBA's 101st Annual Convention & Expo in Las Vegas. MBA's Future Leaders Program, in its 18th year, delivers a leadership training experience for selected participants through three sessions offered throughout the year. The sessions are geared toward customized assessment of leadership skills and their strategic application; business analysis, and problem solving and experiential learning through collaboration, networking and peer group interaction. The new class will join a national network of more than 400 real estate finance professionals who have been acclaimed by the industry as its next generation of leaders.
"I commend each and every one of this year’s graduates for taking the initiative to enhance their professional capabilities as well as build new leadership skills,” said MBA Chairman Bill Cosgrove. “These graduates will be leaving the program with an array of leadership tools to help lay the foundation for a successful future in our industry. I am confident that they will be applying these skills to further their companies’ goals and objectives and, in doing so strengthen the industry as a whole."
Initiated in 1996 by then-MBA President Ron J. McCord, CMB, the Future Leaders Program delivers a highly regarded curriculum focusing on leadership and business analysis skills that help candidates advance their careers in real estate finance.
