The Mortgage Bankers Association Political Action Committee (MORPAC) has awarded Fowler Williams (pictured right), CMB, President and CEO at Crescent Mortgage Company, with its 2017 Schumacher-Bolduc Award. The award was given to Williams in recognition of his outstanding work on behalf of MBA’s political advocacy programs and the mortgage lending industry.

“This year, I am proud to extend this honor to a man whose commitment is reflected in his ongoing dedication to MORPAC as well as his leadership within MBA,” said Dave Motley, CMB, 2018 MBA Chairman and President Colonial Savings. “Fowler is an essential advocate for MBA’s advocacy programs, and as the immediate past Mortgage Action Alliance Chairman, he strengthened and expanded MBA’s grassroots advocacy by adding a record number of new MAA members which almost doubled the previous record holder.”

Williams has been a MORPAC champion and top contributor for the past several years and makes it his duty to involve his peers and colleagues. He continues to serve on the MAA Steering Committee, runs annual MAA enrollment campaigns at his company and also launched a successful MORPAC campaign at his company this year.

Outside of MORPAC, Williams is a member of RESBOG, is actively engaged in the MBA Community Bank and Credit Union Network, the Independent Mortgage Bankers Executive Counsel and the MBA Regulatory Compliance Committee.
Williams serves as MBA’s Georgia Ambassador, a position designed to engage with MBA members, non-members and state and local mortgage banking association leaders across a range of communication, advocacy and member recruitment/retention activities.
