LINTHICUM, MD, October 28, 2020 — NFM Lending is pleased to announce that it has received the 2020 George B. Vashon Innovator Award by the Minority Corporate Counsel Association (MCCA). The award was accepted by NFM General Counsel, LaTasha Rowe during the MCCA’s “Creating Pathways to Diversity Conference” held virtually on October 27, 2020.

The MCCA is the premier source of research and knowledge on diversity and inclusion in the legal profession. The annual award, named for George B. Vashon, the first African American attorney licensed in New York and first admitted to practice in front of the Supreme Court, is given to companies that show a commitment to hiring and advancing diverse attorneys.

“On behalf of the legal department and the leadership team at NFM Lending, I’d like to thank MCCA for this incredible honor,” said Rowe, NFM’s General Counsel since 2010. “As lawyers we have the power to influence, innovate and develop lasting changes in the world around us. Like Mr. Vashon, we cannot accept societal injustices experienced by our fellow citizens just because of their race or sex. We are obligated to use this gift to level the playing field.

As half of NFM Lending’s workforce are women and minorities, Rowe knows firsthand how much an organization can thrive when diversity and inclusion are present.

“Differing cultures and backgrounds are the foundation of the country,” said Rowe. “I am proud NFM Lending takes diversity seriously and creates an environment where the main goal is to be the best we can for our consumers. I firmly believe that we outpace our peers in serving women and minorities because our company very much looks like the communities we serve. We continue to reach beyond NFM’s walls to better our neighborhoods, promote the mortgage industry as a career path for women and minorities and ensure fair lending remains a priority for our consumers.”

Rowe has recently been recognized in Modern Counsel Magazine and was a featured speaker at the Women, Influence & Power in Law (WIPL) event in Washington, D.C, where she educated attendees on how developing a good relationship with regulators can lead to a more productive examination experience. She has also been named among the “Elite Women in Mortgage” by Mortgage Professional Magazine.

LINTHICUM, MD, September 10, 2015 — LaTasha Rowe, General Counsel at NFM Lending, will speak on the TILA-RESPA Integrated Closing Disclosures (TRID) at the Maryland Land Title Association (MLTA) 2015 Fall Convention in Ocean City, Maryland, on Saturday, September 12, 2015.

Ms. Rowe is speaking at the convention in order to prepare and educate attendees on the implications of the new TRID rules.

“As we count down to the October 3, 2015 effective date for TRID, this conference could not be more timely.” said Rowe. “It is important to emphasize that a title company’s role is not diminished. They are still an integral part of the closing process as lenders will work more collaboratively with the settlement agent on obtaining closing costs earlier in the process. I look forward to speaking with the MLTA attendees on their preparation for TRID as well as relaying NFM’s expectations of our title partners.”

This year’s MLTA convention will feature continuing education, break-out sessions, and exhibits by various compliance vendors. The event is aimed at helping title professionals be better prepared for TRID.

The deadline for implementation of the TRID rule is October 3, 2015. NFM Lending will continue to prepare for the implementation of TRID, in addition to educating their employees and clients about these important industry changes.
