11 Exposure Voices of The 2022 Government Forum "The Five Star Government Forum is a great example of the industry working with policy-makers to determine the challenges, successes, and failures facing borrowers and the industry that manages portfolios and property management activities, to ensure consistency and understanding." —John Bell III, Deputy Director, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs "Government Forum provides an invaluable service to the mortgage industry: it brings mortgage industry leaders and regulators together to foster collaboration and understanding. Thanks to the Forum, we all make better decisions." —Marcel Bryar, Founder and Managing Director, Mortgage Policy Advisors, LLC "I'm proud of the work Freddie Mac and our partners in the industry have done to help so many struggling homeowners get back on their feet since the pandemic hit. I was also reminded of the importance of gathering as an industry at this year's Five Star Government Forum to share ideas, discuss challenges, and to keep working toward meaningful solutions so we're prepared to help future borrowers." —William J. Maguire, VP of Servicing Portfolio Management, Single-Family Division, Freddie Mac "I have been going to the Five Star Government Forum for as long as I can remember. What always brings me back is the crosscut of high- level industry executives with senior leaders of the current administration. It's not that they're just in the same room, individually presenting their respective points of view to accomplish a preconceived agenda. There is an environment and structure at the Government Forum that facilitates an earnest conversation between private and public sector leaders that is interesting and important on so many levels." —Tim Rood, Head of Government & Industry Relations, SitusAMC 1.
