 Join John Scott of FoxNews (panel moderator) and the Government Affairs committee for an educational and insightful evening spent with a panel of experts exploring the problems facing the mortgage industry. This event will provide a wide-ranging view of the mortgage industry, the roots of its dysfunction, the circumstances and missteps that caused the recent meltdown, the lessons learned from the debacle, and the way ahead to a responsible, functional and prosperous mortgage industry.
In many ways, the success of the economic recovery in our country is significantly impacted by the mortgage industry. Our panel of experts will give participants an edge up in understanding a key segment of our current business environment as well as being able to more precisely predict the future course of the mortgage industry.
