Thank you to the 10 participants who joined TSAE’s Peer Power Up session on Nov. 15 focused on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB)! We took time to celebrate our personal and organizational DEIB wins and growth over the past year, and delved into complex challenges we face in Texas’ dynamic political landscape. From bridging the gap between intention and action, adjusting DEIB language to increase engagement, and fostering inclusion across generational lines, participants exchanged insights and strategies. We’re grateful for your contributions and shared resources to help move this work forward. Together, we’re building resilient, inclusive organizations.

The Event Garde team is grateful for our partnership with USFN. Through our collaboration, we supported the success of the Executive Servicer Summit, a hosted-buyer event that provides members with exclusive access to top executives from the nation’s leading servicing companies. The Summit provided engaging presentations, ample opportunities to network and reconnect, and plenty of downtime for attendees to rest, relax, and recharge. All of this took place amidst the stunning, snow-dusted landscapes of Montana, creating the perfect backdrop for building and strengthening important relationships. We extend our sincere gratitude to the USFN team and more than 150 attendees and guests whose enthusiasm and engagement made this event a true success.
