The Houston Mortgage Bankers Association held their Legends Luncheon honoring HMBA’s past presidents at Maggiano’s Little Italy on December 9th. Bill Dawley, current HMBA president, introduced the honorees to the audience of mortgage and real estate professionals.
Among the HMBA past presidents that were in attendance were, Mike McFarland, David Bravo, Scott Valby, Mike Gale, Gary Davis, Judy Belanger, Rob Macioce, Mike Holtcamp, Martin Atkinson, Debi Reese, Kevin Guggenheim, Ben Streusand, Mike Minnis, Becky McDermott, Clif Crabtree, Ray Marshall, Frank Gentry and Keith Brown.
Past presidents Gentry, Streusand, Guggenheim, and Davis, each representing a different time frame in the industry, shared perspectives on developments and changes they have experienced in the mortgage business during the past 30 years.
“This was a great way for us to close out a really productive year for HMBA,” Dawley said. “Listening to these past presidents and hearing what their concerns were back in the day, I realize how far we’ve progressed professionally and how hard all of them worked to present our industry to consumers in a positive way. We owe them many thanks.”
