Miriam Moore President of Default Services, ServiceLink What People Are Saying: "Miriam Moore encapsulates the spirit of the Laurie A. Maggiano Legacy Award, having spent over 30 years serving the mortgage indus- try, shattering glass ceilings to become one of its most well-respected leaders today. Over the past year, Moore and her team have facilitated thousands of loan modifications by providing title reports and generating loan modification documents. These efforts helped provide peace of mind for struggling borrowers previously at risk of losing their homes. She co-founded a networking and mentoring group for women working in financial services over 15 years ago; it is still going strong today."

As president of default services at ServiceLink and a leader within the organization, I take the responsibility of being a positive role model and mentor very seriously. As I reflect on my career and the incredible colleagues, mentors, mentees, and fellow women executives I have had the great fortune of working with and learning from, I would be remiss not to acknowledge that this honor is as much theirs as it is mine. Congratulations to all the 2023 Women in Housing Awards nominees and thank you to the Five Star for celebrating and recognizing strong women leaders who are driving the industry forward."
