18 | M R EP O RT FEATURE September 2015 Through its Women in Housing editions and the associated Women in Housing Leadership Awards presented at the annual Five Star Conference, the Five Star Institute and MReport have long made it a point to spotlight the accomplishments of our industry's extraor- dinary women in a field to this day heavily dominated by men. In September 2015, this took the form of profiling Sheila Bair, FDIC Chairperson from 2006-2011 and the first female president of Washington College. August 2018 The dream of homeownership is a top priority for many Americans, but ensuring sustainable, responsible access to that goal is not always as easy as it should be. In our cover story "Shut Out," MReport turned the spotlight on the emerging "gig economy" and other segments of our society who were being underserved by our industry. June 2016 In our June 2016 edition, MReport got the chance to spotlight not just one high-level mortgage executive, but an entire team of them. In our cover profile, "A Common Vision," we spoke with a half-dozen of Chase Bank's executive team, including CEO of Mortgage Banking Mike Weinbach, CFO for Mortgage Banking David Beck, and more. January 2020 In "Shaping the Future of HUD & FHA," MReport delivered an exclusive inter- view with HUD Deputy Secretary Brian Montgomery, who spoke about the False Claims Act, better aligning with the GSEs, and how FHA was working to upgrade their technological infrastructure. October 2016 In October 2016, MReport turned its spotlight onto another of the nation's largest financial entities with a profile of Wells Fargo's Head of Home Lending Franklin Codel, who dis- cussed homebuyer education, his leadership style, and how the market had changed since the chaos of the 2008 financial crisis. April 2020 With the world reeling from the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, in April 2020, MReport examined how the mortgage industry was—just like every other indus- try—scrambling to adapt. The cover story is a fascinating snapshot of a specific moment in time, featuring insights from executives at Carrington Mortgage Holdings, Flagstar Bank, Quicken Loans, RoundPoint Mortgage Corporation, Wells Fargo, and more, as well as several prominent economists.
