What a week we had at our FIPCO Loan and Mortgage Forum! This year’s annual forum was held virtually from November 16-19. Although we missed being able to see everyone in-person, this year FIPCO staff got to connect with over 210 separate connections. And that doesn’t count the number of people that were watching together in a meeting room! Registrants had the opportunity to pick and choose the sessions that aligned with their duties, resulting in an average of 150 participants per session.
Among the topics covered, we discussed consumer construction loans, participant basics, what’s new in Compliance Concierge, and setting defaults. Cathy and Chris supplied us with a few sessions-worth of FAQs from our software support area.
FDIC's Scott Alexander presented examiner findings over the past year, empowering attendees with the knowledge and awareness to best put procedures in place to steer clear of violations. Heather Mackinnon and Scott Birrenkott from WBA's legal department were on hand to discuss the attendees' questions about regulations and WBA documents in this forum-favorite session.
My thanks to each of you that attended any part of the forum, I’m grateful that you were able to take the time to join us. I’m sure all of you ended up with new information that you didn’t know before. Be sure to reference the materials, and of course, contact us if you have any software questions by calling 800-722-3498, option 4.
