Washington, D.C. (June 2, 2008)- CampusMBA, the award winning education division of the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA), today announced its training partnership
with Republic Mortgage Insurance Company (RMIC), a subsidiary of Old Republic International Corporation (NYSE: ORI) which
protects lenders across the U.S. from losses due to defaults on first mortgages for single-family residential properties.
The initiative is part of CampusMBA's rapid response enterprise training solutions which provide companies with comprehensive,
specialized and robust training targeted to the needs of staff in support of overall strategic business goals.
"RMIC approached CampusMBA with a need for loss mitigation training for our customers' front line servicing staff," said Kevin
Henry, RMIC's Loss Mitigation Group Manager. "RMIC is known as an industry leader in both training and loss mitigation, so
this opportunity to partner with CampusMBA to develop and deliver the loss mitigation workshop was an outstanding way to support
our customers. CampusMBA exceeded our expectations by how quickly and efficiently it worked with us to understand our needs
and create hands on, nuts and bolts training that is particularly relevant in today's market. We're optimistic that providing
servicers with up-to-the-minute information and real world techniques will benefit both them and homeowners who are facing
delinquencies."
CampusMBA created a specialized loss mitigation course for RMIC and began delivering it to the staff of RMIC's customer servicing
companies within 45 days of the project start date. This loss mitigation course, which is now being offered to industry professionals
publicly, is a boot camp-style workshop designed for servicing managers, counselors, and loan servicing professionals who
are responsible for performing and monitoring loss mitigation workouts. The workshop provides critical insights on loss mitigation
issues including common reasons for default, investor and insurer loss mitigation requirements and workout options. The five
hands-on exercises, which include the design of a loss mitigation workout plan, ensure that professionals can immediately
apply these loss mitigation skills to their job function.
"RMIC expressed a critical business need to CampusMBA and we are thrilled to have had the opportunity to work with RMIC to
produce this top caliber, hands-on loss mitigation training," said John Golden MBA's Senior Vice President of Education. "CampusMBA's
rapid response enterprise training solutions provide industry companies with targeted solutions that produce bottom line results."
