"It is a privilege to be among the inaugural NEXT Powerhouse Awards honorees," said Milam, who presented Skid Row Housing Trust CEO Lee Raagas with NEXT's inaugural Excellence in Leadership award last November at the #NEXTDC19 women's executive summit. "My experience has been that our housing finance industry is powered by dedicated, highly intelligent and resourceful women, whose guidance I value and friendships I cherish."

"NEXT's mission has always been to showcase the women who are the backbone of the mortgage industry - this award is part of that mission," said NEXT Co-Founder Jeri Yoshida. "We'll honor these top performers throughout #NEXTSUMMER20. Since this year's event is free and available online, we expect record-breaking attendance. We're thrilled that so many people in the mortgage industry will get to know these overachievers and acknowledge their role in their companies' success."
