DIVERSITY & INCLUSION FALL SYMPOSIUM
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 19 | 10:00 AM - 12:25 PM
The Five Star Diversity & Inclusion Symposium brings together relevant stakeholders dedicated to advancing the conversation about diversity within the mortgage industry. As an industry, we celebrate the progress being made toward building a profession that is inclusive while also understanding there is still work to be done. It has never been more important to advance solutions aimed at encouraging diverse practices. This gathering of professionals will chart the course for finding strength in our differences through critical dialogue about the most pressing D&I issues unfolding within our industry. Attendees will enjoy a morning of active engagement, networking, and advancing progress within housing and mortgage.
