Why I would like to be a member of the Board of Directors and/or my vision for UTA:
I would like to continue to contribute to the Board of Directors of the United Trustees Association. Because of my position on the Board of Directors for the California Mortgage Association (Legislative Chair), together with having ownership of companies that span different segments of the lending spectrum, I am able to work with both organizations to review pending legislation, cases, “chatter”, problems, etc. and see ways to make positive changes both for the UTA and their clients. I am unafraid to go and testify or discuss the issues in front of legislators when needed. I have been to Sacramento to testify and to Washington DC in an attempt to have our voices heard. I am passionate about our industry and the help that we give not only to lenders but also to consumers.
UTA stands for clarity and fairness to the people who count on trustees to conduct business professionally. I am always proud to say that I am a member of UTA and an owner of a foreclosure firm.
The short-term vision that I see for UTA is to work with the consumer groups to, if not eliminate the effects of SB1079, at least severely restrict its misuse. Conversations with a major consumer attorney have already begun and we shall continue attempt to make headway on this avenue especially with the passing of AB2424 causing additional delays in the foreclosure process. Having good working relationships with people who may appear to be adversarial are important and not all people see this the value of this.
The long-term vision that I see for UTA is to continue to have trustees educated and performing their work professionally. Any trustee who is not performing their work properly gives all of the trustees a negative connotation. We all need to continue to grow our membership in the organization, to learn and work professionally and to be a voice in Sacramento.
I respectfully request that you cast your vote for me. Thank you.
