***PROGRESS in Lending was formed to be a platform for industry thought leaders to share their ideas with their peers so we can all move the mortgage industry forward. As such, I asked a distinguished roster of industry experts to volunteer their time and join our Executive Team in addition to maintaining their day jobs. Our team includes Roger Gudobba of Compliance Systems, Michael Hammond of NexLevel Advisors, Kelly Purcell of eSignSystems, Gabe Minton of ServiceLink and Steven Horne of Wingspan Portfolio Advisors. Today I am proud to announce that we are expanding our board to include a new member. Please join me in welcoming the new Chief Marketing Officer of PROGRESS in Lending:
