First-Ever MISMO Award Presented

The first MISMO Staff Appreciation Award has been presented to Ted Adams, director of industry standards at Freddie Mac and chair of the Core Data MISMO Workgroup.Gabe Minton, vice president of industry technology at the Mortgage Bankers Association, lavished praise on people like Mr. Adams during the presentation at the 92nd annual MBA convention. "We would not be where we are today without these heroes," he declared. The award is hand-picked and ratified by the board of MISMO -- the Mortgage Industry Standards Maintenance Organization -- to recognize a member that has contributed to the standards effort above and beyond the call of duty. Next year, two staff appreciation awards will be given out, one for residential and the other for commercial. MISMO can be found online at http://www.mismo.org.
