SAN ANTONIO, Texas (PRWEB) August 21, 2017 -- Operation Homefront, the national nonprofit that builds strong, stable, and secure military families, today announced the appointment of JK Huey to its national Board of Directors. Huey is a 35+ year veteran of the mortgage industry, most recently serving as senior vice president of Wells Fargo Home Mortgage where she led Foreclosure and Asset Management.

Previously holding senior management positions at IndyMac Bank and Homeside Lending, Huey has managed a broad portfolio of mortgage industry specialties including customer service, default management, investor reporting, acquisitions, and retail production.
She is a Certified Mortgage Banker, Accredited Mortgage Professional, and a member of the MORPAC and Loan Administration Steering Committees with the Mortgage Bankers Association of America.

Recently retired, Huey will continue to leverage her experience and knowledge in the mortgage industry by supporting military families through Operation Homefront.
“Our service men and women and their families have given so much to our country through their service, and I’ve seen firsthand what it means to a military family to finally have a place to call home thanks to Operation Homefront’s Homes on the Homefront. I am honored to accept this appointment and stand behind an organization that does so much to protect the heroes who protect us,” said Huey.
