October Research, LLC is pleased to announce it has selected a high-profile mortgage banker and a world-renowned business author to deliver keynotes at the 2013 National Settlement Services Summit, to be held in Cleveland, Ohio, June 10-12 at the Marriott at Key Center.
To kick things off on June 11, Bill Cosgrove, a prominent leader in mortgage banking, will deliver remarks on the mortgage industry and share insightful views on the state of mortgage lending from his unique perspective. A high-profile, independent mortgage banker and Washington lobbyist, Cosgrove will speak about the mortgage lending side of the transaction and discuss prominent issues in the mortgage space that impact settlement services.
Cosgrove is president and chief executive officer of Strongsville, Ohio-based Union National Mortgage Co. He serves as vice chairman on the board of directors of the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA), and from 2008-2010, he led efforts in raising $1.1 million for industry activism as chair of the MBA’s Political Action Committee.
On June 12, Summit participants will be captivated by an insightful presentation from keynoter Paul Meshanko, founder and president of Cleveland-based Legacy Business Cultures. In his remarks, Meshanko, a veteran “edutainer” and highly acclaimed author, will explore for Summit attendees how respect in the workplace impacts business success. Based on his book, The Respect Effect, he will also provide clear direction on how each of us can create an emotionally positive and durable legacy for ourselves. As a motivational presenter and facilitator, Meshanko has captivated over a quarter million leaders and business professionals.
“I’ve traveled through more than 25 countries on five continents over the past decade,” Meshanko said. “Nothing connects us to one another and builds rapport faster than authentic respect. When we treat each other with respect, our brains literally light up and we perform whatever we do at the highest levels possible.”
The National Settlement Services Summit is the premier destination for title, mortgage and settlement services professionals to gather for extensive networking and learning. Produced by October Research, LLC and presented by Fidelity National Title Group, the 2013 Summit is offering an impressive lineup of over 30 speakers, top industry-related topics, and unmatched networking and business development opportunities. It is expected to attract nearly 500 professionals from across the country.
Summit attendees are encouraged to order a copy of The Respect Effect and bring the book to the National Settlement Services Summit for an exclusive book signing by Meshanko immediately following his presentation.
