www.mrgdocs.com - MRG Document Technologies (MRG), a provider of compliance and documentation services for the financial industry, announced that Laura LaRaia and Marsha Williams were recognized at the 95th Annual Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) Conference in San Francisco, Oct. 19-22, for completing the MBA's Future Leaders Program and for receiving the Schumacher-Bolduc Award, respectively.
LaRaia was one of 16 individuals who graduated from the MBA's Future Leaders Program at this year's MBA Annual conference. The goal of the program is to cultivate the next generation of mortgage industry leaders through a comprehensive leadership training experience. The curriculum focuses on leadership and business analysis skills that help candidates advance their careers in real estate finance. A graduate of the College of the Holy Cross and Loyola University's School of Law, LaRaia has been with MRG for 15 years and currently serves as the director of customer service for MRG.
Williams was awarded this year's Schumacher-Bolduc Award. The honor is given to the Mortgage Bankers Association Political Action Committee (MORPAC) member who most exemplifies the dedication and hard work of Ernest P. Schumacher and Mark P. Bolduc. MORPAC staff and MBA senior management selected Williams because her efforts on behalf of the PAC were above the call of duty during the past year. She also received the Schumacher-Bolduc Award in 2004 and the State and Local MBA Service Award in 1996. In addition to currently serving as vice-chair of MORPAC and vice-chair of the Mortgage Action Alliance, Williams is a member of the MBA's State Legislative and Regulatory Committee, which she previously chaired for two years, and the MBA's Legal Issues and Regulatory Compliance Committee. She has also chaired the Education and the State and Local MBA Liaison committees for the MBA.
In addition, MRG's Jared Ihrig gave a presentation on Identity Theft Red Flag Rule and Guidelines at the Texas Credit Union Real Estate Network's Annual Mortgage Lending Symposium, held on Oct. 22. The group, comprised of state and federally chartered credit unions, selected Ihrig due to his regulatory compliance and mortgage lending expertise in the credit union industry. Prior to joining MRG's National Mortgage Compliance Group, Ihrig served as assistant general counsel and director of compliance for one of the ten largest credit unions in the United States. A graduate of Oklahoma State University and Oklahoma City University School of Law, Ihrig is also a certified public accountant licensed in Texas and Oklahoma. Ihrig is a member of the MBA Legal Issues and Regulatory Compliance Committee and currently serves on the Government Relations, Regulatory Compliance and Future Mortgage Leaders committees of the Texas MBA, as well as the vice-president of programs for the Financial Institutions Legal Counsel Network of Dallas.
"Laura, Marsha and Jared exemplify the levels of leadership and legal expertise that are valued by the entire mortgage industry," said Terry King, group chairman at MRG. "Not only are these individuals an asset to MRG, but to all of the lenders and consumers who use MRG for their document preparation."
