June 14 Symposium Looks at Safeguarding Homeownership

Sustaining homeownership at a time of economic challenge and a changing housing and financial services marketplace is the theme of a full-day symposium in Washington, D.C. on June 14 that will bring together mortgage industry leaders, consumer groups and public officials.

The Wells Fargo-sponsored symposium, “Safeguarding the American Dream,” will feature speakers representing the full range of mortgage lending activities — from outreach to the consumer through loan origination and servicing.

The event will look at fair and responsible lending and servicing practices designed to ensure that homeownership remains a viable opportunity for a broad spectrum of consumers.

Featured speakers will include Housing and Urban Development Secretary Alfonso Jackson; syndicated columnist Ken Harney; David Crowe of NAHB; Cara Heiden, division president of Wells Fargo Home Mortgage; and other housing and mortgage industry leaders and consumer advocates.

Speakers will address a range of topics, including:

  • The economy and the American dream, and how the current climate impacts housing and mortgages

  • Taking up the challenge of sustaining homeownership

  • Building and financing the dream — an industry responds to a challenging climate

  • Back to the neighborhood — building thriving communities in America’s cities and towns


The symposium will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Ronald Reagan Building, 1300 Pennsylvania Ave, N.W.

For more information, e-mail Jason Menke, or call him at 515-213-4183.
