Hi, I’m Adam DeSanctis with the Mortgage Minute, the latest news from the Mortgage Bankers Association. Last week, the Senate Banking Committee voted to advance the nominations of Joe Gormley to be President of Ginnie Mae. Frank Cassidy to be FHA Commissioner and Travis Hill to be chairman of the FDIC. MBA sent statements and letters in support of all three nominees and looks forward to their confirmation votes likely scheduled the week after Thanksgiving. And a reminder, have you registered for the Premier IMB Event of the Year? MBA’s Independent Mortgage Bankers Conference takes place in beautiful Amelia Island, Florida on February 2nd through the 4th. The agenda is building out and like always, it’s going to be an informative and fun conference. Go to mba.org/imb26 to register. Now, it’s hard to believe that it’s already Thanksgiving. I hope you enjoy it with your family and friends.
