The first recipient of an award to mark excellence in mortgage industry compliance has been named.
The Mortgage Bankers Association has honored Laura Sherrod, Director of Servicing Compliance and Learning Development at AmeriFirst Home Mortgage, with the Ken Markison Legacy Achievement Award.
The honor recognizes individuals who have distinguished themselves in pursuit of the Certified Mortgage Compliance Professional (CMCP) certificate and designation, shown dedication to MBA, and have demonstrated excellence in the regulatory compliance field and the real estate finance industry.
The award was named for Ken Markison who was the principal architect behind MBA's Compliance Essentials program and one of America’s leading experts in government housing regulations. He retired from the MBA in 2017.
"I am pleased to announce that the inaugural award goes to Laura Sherrod," said Steve O'Connor, MBA Senior Vice President of Public Policy and Industry Relations. "Laura was not only instrumental in the development of Level I of the CMCP as an active and constructive pilot tester for the Level I courses, Laura was also the first person to pass Level I of the CMCP and did so with consistently excellent scores."
