MNOTES T he role of women in housing has evolved over time. Whereas the mortgage industry was once dominated by men, over the last several years women have become active decision-makers who are shaping the future of housing in the United States. To see the huge strides women have made in the mortgage industry, look no further than this month's issue of MReport, where we celebrate the achievements women have made in our industry. This issue also includes an in-depth feature by Tonya Todd, SVP of Strategic Products at Mountain West Financial, discussing the important role women are playing in driving change in the mortgage industry. Why has the industry evolved over the last few decades to include the expansion of the role of women? As Dana Dillard, EVP and Chief Customer Officer at Nationstar Mortgage and one of the Power Player honorees in this issue said, the opportunities are limitless for women in the housing space because women bring such a unique skill set that includes ability to lead, collaborate, listen, and empathize with struggling customers. "All of those things are more unique to women than to men, and we're in an industry that needs all of that," she said. The role of women in housing will no doubt continue to expand as they chart the course for the future of our industry. And we will be there every step of the way to recognize them. The times have changed, and the changes have been for the better.
