Houston, Texas (PRWEB) August 09, 2017
HousingWire has announced its annual Women of Influence list, recognizing Network Funding Branch Manager and Loan Officer Billi West, who is based in Florida. According to HousingWire, this is the seventh year that the publication has recognized the women leading the mortgage and housing industry forward, and each year, the nominations grow more and more competitive. The entire listing of the “2017 Women of Influence” is available at http://www.housingwire.com.
The 50 women represented in the recent publication cover a variety of occupations within the housing economy, demonstrating leadership that inspires those in their own companies, in their communities and in the industry at large.
“It's exciting to see the talent represented in this year's Women of Influence winners. These dynamic women represent every part of the mortgage ecosystem and their achievements are vital to the mission of expanding homeownership,” Sarah Wheeler, HousingWire Magazine Editor said. “HousingWire is thrilled to recognize and celebrate their accomplishments as they build better operations, solutions and companies.”
Many of this year’s winners mentor other women in the industry, manage internship programs for college students or work with business groups in disadvantaged areas. Others coordinate volunteer programs for their employees or serve on advisory boards that inform the industry. Investing time and effort to see others succeed is a hallmark of this group, and should be celebrated in its own right.
“We are proud of the recognition that Billi West has received for her hard work and dedication within Network Funding and the mortgage lending industry,” said Network Funding Executive Vice President Brett Snortland. “She inspires everyone in our company to get better each and every day.”
“As the mortgage industry continues to do the right thing — increase diversity in the workforce — the housing finance business will likewise keep moving from strength to strength,” said HousingWire Editor-in-Chief Jacob Gaffney. “The progress is undeniable; as the number of influential women in housing grows so does our recognition for the Influential Women of Housing. Our list is bigger and better than ever.”
