Cosgrove’s family and UHM partners were thrilled to see their fearless leader take the seat and establish a pinnacle point in his career.

In 2003 he was inducted into the Bedford, Ohio High School Distinguished Hall of Fame for his accomplishments in Mortgage Banking. In 2004, he earned MBA’s Certified Mortgage Banker (CMB) designation. In 2008, Cosgrove was awarded the distinguished Hoddup Award for his many contributions to the Ohio Mortgage Bankers Association. He also previously served as the President of the Ohio MBA and on the MBA RESBOG (Residential Board of Governors) Steering Committee.
“The members of this Board will no doubt be influential and effective in helping to create policy that positively affects the real estate finance industry,” said Cosgrove.
With 2,200 member companies that represent the breadth of this industry, the MBA works hard to create a sustainable and vibrant future for all industry participants. They also marshal balanced policy perspectives to ensure transparent, efficient markets.
