Diversity & Inclusion
The Five Star Diversity Symposium is an exclusive event focused on advancing the diversity conversation within the mortgage industry.

It has never been more important to advance solutions aimed at encouraging diverse practices. This gathering of industry professionals will chart the course for finding strength in our differences through critical dialogue about the most pressing diversity issues facing our industry. Attendees will enjoy a day of active engagement, networking, and advancing progress within the housing industry.
