The League hosted many Certification Courses, lending its mem- bers' expertise in teaching courses to industry employees. Bond: In 2024, Legal League's major accomplishment was fostering industry unity and camaraderie. We achieved this through a series of impactful conferences, engaging webinars, on-site servicer train- ing sessions, servicer certification courses, and our regular publications. These initiatives not only brought the industry together, but also provided valuable learning and networking opportunities for all participants. Q: What are your priorities for Legal League in 2025? Hladik: Our priorities include growth in membership, continuing to provide high-quality educational webinars, top-level Summits and networking activ- ities, and being a vocal advocate for the mortgage servicing industry. Bond: In 2025, our priorities for the Le- gal League are centered around foster- ing active participation and engagement from all member firms. We aim to see each member firm join our committees, attend our events, submit articles for our publications, and fully enjoy the many benefits of being part of Legal League. By being an active participant, each member brings unique qualities that enhance our collective strength. This involvement not only provides valuable marketing opportunities and increased visibility within our industry, but also fa- cilitates direct interaction with mortgage servicers, the GSEs, agencies, vendors, and fellow law firm members. Together, we can continue to build a vibrant, con- nected, and thriving community. Q: Where do you see Legal League in five years?
