Cenlar FSB to Present at ABA Risk and Compliance Conference on Topics Including: Mortgage Servicing, Hybrid Workplaces, Root Cause Analysis, and Cloud Vendor Management

Cenlar FSB, the nation’s leading mortgage loan subservicer, will present during four sessions at this year’s American Bankers Association “Risk and Compliance Conference” at the Henry B. González Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas, June 13-16.

Lynn A. Tarantino, CRCM, CAMS, Senior Vice President, Chief Control Officer, will speak at the “Managing the Risks and Rewards of a Hybrid Workplace” and “Root Cause Analysis and Remediation Plan: How Do You Measure Your Program’s Effectiveness?” sessions.

Laura Ann Pontelandolfo, Assistant General Counsel, will speak at the “Mortgage Servicing” session, which Tarantino will moderate.

Michael Ambrosius, Chief Technology Risk Officer, will speak at the “Cloud Vendor Management” session, where he will discuss the appeal to the cloud, oversight, and risk associated with the cloud.

The conference will provide bankers information and insight they need to continue to “hone their skills and expertise in their respective risk and compliance areas — while examining the connections between the two and exploring best practices and leading solutions to help mitigate risks and meet regulatory expectations.”
