Amba to Highlight Real-World Results in Webinar on Proactive, AI-Enabled Care

New case study shows sharp reductions in falls, hospitalizations, and missed care tasks at Tiffany Village and Kenny's Pond

NAPLES, Fla., May 14, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Amba, a leader in passive AI-powered care technology, will host a live webinar titled “From Staffing Crisis To Operational Advantage ” on May 20, 2026, focused on how senior living operators can move beyond reactive care and how working with better visibility and earlier insight improves operational efficiency.

Tiffany Village will discuss how its care teams use Amba’s AI-powered passive care technology to reduce falls, hospitalizations, and missed care tasks across its senior living communities in the webinar “Staffing Crisis To Operational Advantage” on May 20, 2026.

The session, presented in partnership with Senior Housing News, will feature Kristen Parsons, President of Tiffany Village and Kenny’s Pond, alongside Amba Founder and CEO Stuart Hamilton. The two will walk through what changed over two years of using Amba, what that shift meant for care delivery, and how teams actually work day-to-day.

Amba uses passive, privacy-first sensors to track patterns in sleep, movement, and behavior, without cameras or audio. Over time, the platform builds a baseline for each resident and flags meaningful changes, helping teams decide when to step in and where to focus their attention.

The system is designed to work within existing environments, allowing communities to adopt it without overhauling infrastructure or workflows.

The webinar follows the release of a new case study based on results from the St. John’s, Newfoundland communities, where Amba has been used to provide care teams with clearer visibility into resident needs, enabling them to step in earlier before an infection or issue arises.

At Tiffany Village and Kenny’s Pond, care teams have seen fewer disruptions and more consistent care. Occupancy increased, and labor costs came down, while care teams reported feeling more confident in how they prioritize their day, in data analyzed from 2023 to 2025:

Result highlights at Tiffany Village and Kenney’s Pond include:

  • 89% reduction in falls
  • 78% reduction in medication issues
  • 97% reduction in hospitalizations

“Amba is very easy to fall in love with,” said Parsons. “Once your team sees the benefit and starts using it every day, it becomes part of how you deliver care.”

These outcomes were achieved without adding staff, challenging the assumption that better outcomes require more staffing.

“Most communities aren’t short on effort; they’re short on visibility,” said Amba’s Hamilton. “When teams can see what’s changing in real time, they don’t have to wait for something to go wrong. They can step in earlier, with more confidence, and focus their time where it actually matters.”

During the webinar, attendees will hear directly from Parsons about what it took to implement the system, where things started to change, and how their approach to care has evolved over time.

Topics include:

  • How to increase caregiver capacity without adding payroll
  • Why many systems keep communities stuck in reactive workflows
  • What proactive care actually looks like in practice
  • What two years of real data reveal about operations

Webinar Details: The webinar is scheduled for Wednesday, May 20, 2026, at 12 p.m. Eastern. To register or download the case study, visit: https://event.on24.com/wcc/r/5323094/16843E5E12924BD0B946E1C5C11C26D9?partnerref=amba

3rd3rd Marketing and AgingIN Tackle Senior Living’s Workforce Crisis

Complimentary Webinar Addresses Care Team Retention and Resilience

SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. 17, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — As senior living communities continue to navigate workforce challenges that directly impact care quality and operations, 3rd3rd Marketing and AgingIN are partnering to present a timely webinar: “Workforce That Stays: Creative Strategies to Attract, Inspire, & Retain a Mission-Driven Team” on Friday, February 27, geared toward senior living executives, HR professionals, and community leaders looking to build a sustainable workforce.

3rd3rd Marketing and AgingIN present a complimentary webinar on strengthening care team retention and resilience in senior living
Image caption: 3rd3rd Marketing and AgingIN present a complimentary webinar on strengthening care team retention and resilience in senior living.

This practical session is designed for senior living leaders who are ready to move beyond short-term staffing fixes and build a culture where people choose to stay and feel proud to do so.

With the industry at a crossroads as it prepares for more than 15 million more people to join the 75+ age group, it is confronting a widening gap between the number of older adults and the shrinking number of available caregivers. The caregiver-to-receiver ratio, once more than six to one, will soon fall to four to one. At the same time, new construction for care settings continues to decline.

“The senior living workforce crisis won’t be solved by quick fixes or louder job postings,” said Cynthia Thurlow, President and CEO of 3rd3rd Marketing. “It’s solved when people understand why their work matters and feel genuinely connected to the mission. The webinar will provide tools and insights for communities to tell their story in a way that attracts the right people and gives them a reason to stay.”

Drawing on real-world experience, experts from 3rd3rd Marketing, which helps senior living communities globally, and AgingIN, an advocacy group focused on the evolution of eldercare, will explore how thoughtful storytelling, purpose-driven communication, and intentional culture-building can transform recruitment and retention outcomes. Attendees will gain actionable strategies to attract candidates who align with their mission, reduce burnout across care teams, and strengthen engagement at every level of the organization.

“Retention is built in the everyday moments around how leaders communicate, how teams are supported, and whether people feel seen and safe at work,” said Zoie Garza, presenter and Project Coach at AgingIN. “When organizations invest in culture with the same intention they invest in operations, burnout decreases and commitment grows. This session gives leaders practical tools they can use immediately.”

ATTENDEES WILL LEARN HOW TO:

  • Use modern storytelling to position their community as a place people genuinely want to work
  • Attract purpose-driven candidates instead of filling roles with “warm bodies”
  • Clearly communicate their organizational WHY so employees feel connected and invested
  • Build pride, belonging, and shared identity across departments
  • Create a culture where team members feel safe, supported, and heard
  • Reduce burnout, stress, and conflict within care teams
  • Understand the true financial cost of turnover and how retention protects long-term budgets

Registration is now open for this complimentary webinar.

iEmergent confronts the DEI debate with bold webinar on the business case for diverse lending

'Not Sold on Diversity? Fine. Let's Talk About Your Bottom Line' tackles how lenders can reach underserved markets and fuel long-term growth

DES MOINES, Iowa, April 2, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — iEmergent, a forecasting and advisory services firm for the financial services, mortgage and real estate industries, today announced a provocative new webinar that dares to reframe the diversity conversation through a business lens. Amid growing pushback on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, iEmergent is doubling down on the importance of inclusive lending to lenders’ long-term success. Titled “Not Sold on Diversity? Fine. Let’s Talk About Your Bottom Line,” the roundtable session will take place Wednesday, April 30, from 1:00 to 3:00 pm ET and will feature mortgage industry leaders sharing actionable insights on how lenders can drive sustainable growth by expanding access to homeownership.

iEmergent confronts the DEI debate with bold webinar on the business case for diverse lending
Image caption: iEmergent confronts the DEI debate with bold webinar on the business case for diverse lending.

With more than 77% of net household formation in the next decade projected to come from diverse households, the mortgage industry is at a turning point. While some lenders are adapting to these demographic shifts, others remain focused on traditional, often affluent borrower segments. The roundtable will explore the business case for reaching underserved markets and the risks of ignoring them.

“This conversation isn’t just about diversity — it’s about the future of mortgage lending,” said iEmergent CEO Laird Nossuli. “Lenders that overlook these borrower segments today risk falling behind in a market where diverse households will drive future mortgage demand. Understanding where the opportunities exist and implementing the right strategies is a game-changer for long-term growth.”

Panelists will explore how lenders can assess gaps in minority and low- to moderate-income (LMI) lending, strengthen their real estate referral networks using MLS data and recruit loan officers already connected to these communities. They will also discuss practical approaches to overcoming systemic barriers to homeownership, such as appraisal bias and limited generational wealth, and highlight ways to build durable community partnerships that support a consistent borrower pipeline.

Moderated by Nossuli, the panel will feature:

Mortgage executives, sales leaders and compliance professionals from banks, credit unions and independent mortgage banks (IMBs) are encouraged to attend to learn how data-driven strategies can unlock new growth opportunities while meeting the needs of today’s — and tomorrow’s — homebuyers.

iEmergent’s Redlining Roundtable will teach lenders to identify and prevent mortgage redlining while seizing the business opportunity of equitable lending

DES MOINES, Iowa /ScoopCloud/ -- iEmergent, a forecasting and advisory services firm for the financial services, mortgage and real estate industries, will host a webinar on mortgage redlining on Thursday, September 19, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. ET. "Redlining Roundtable: Don't Just Dodge Risk, Capture Opportunity" will bring together experts from across the housing finance industry to discuss the high price of modern-day mortgage redlining, the strategies lenders can use to identify and prevent unintentional discrimination, and the long-term value mortgage lenders can build through fair and equitable lending practices.

Mortgage redlining excludes minority and economically at-risk groups. Whether intentional or not, redlining can lead to significant legal penalties for lenders, with some enforcement actions resulting in multi-million dollar settlements. The opportunity cost of exclusionary lending practices is even greater, with industry forecasts anticipating that most future mortgage growth will come from majority-minority census tracts (MMCTs) and BIPOC communities.

Hosted by iEmergent, the September 19 event will feature input from a diverse array of subject-matter experts, including:

* Latonia Donaldson, National Director of Multicultural Lending, PrimeLending

* Nikki Bialka, National Community Lending Strategy Manager, Fifth Third Bank

* Tony Thompson, CMB, Founder and CEO, National Association of Minority Mortgage Bankers of America (NAMMBA)

* Olivia Kelman, Partner, Mitchell Sandler PLLC

* Geoff Cooper, Vice President of Product Development, MGIC

* Laird Nossuli, CEO, iEmergent

"Redlining practices can saddle lenders with stiff penalties, but their real cost is the lost business opportunity they represent," said Nossuli. "Lenders who effectively serve the financing needs of diverse households have better long-term growth outcomes and help build better communities. In our upcoming roundtable, we'll quantify that competitive advantage and show lenders how to seize it."

To register for iEmergent's Redlining Roundtable on September 19 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. ET, visit https://www.iemergent.com/redlining-roundtable/.

Attendees will earn points toward their Certified Mortgage Banker (CMB) designation from the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA).

GOALS Council Welcomes Soccer Resilience to a Live Roundtable Discussing Youth Sports and Mental Health

PLANO, Texas /ScoopCloud/ -- The GOALS Council, a strategic advisory body formed by Stack Sports and influential youth soccer leaders in 2021, will host their second virtual roundtable tailored for youth sports enthusiasts on Wednesday, March 20, 2024, featuring a distinguished panel of industry leaders discussing pressing topics identified by the GOALS Council.

The GOALS Council welcomes a panel of industry leaders including Diego Bocanegra - Former Head Women's Soccer Coach at the University of Houston, Jen Davis - Executive Director of the South Texas Youth Soccer Association, Dr. Brad Miller - Founder of Soccer Resilience and licensed clinical psychologist, and Wells Thompson - Founder and CEO of Soccer Resilience and former professional player of Major League Soccer.

The webinar will expand upon the crucial intersection of youth sports and mental health. Stack Sports believes in an era where the pressures on young athletes seem to intensify with each passing season, understanding the profound impact of sports on mental well-being has never been more imperative. A survey conducted by the Aspen Institute among over 3,000 youth in the Tacoma, Washington area, titled "State of Play Tacoma-Pierce County," reveals a significant number of young athletes grappling with anxiety, depression, and even suicidal ideation. According to the Aspen Institute's State of Play 2023: "More attention is being paid to the role that positive sports experiences can have on a child's mental health, given that 42% of high school students today say they have experienced persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness. That's up from 28% a decade ago. While all teens report increased mental health challenges, girls fare worse than boys."

The panel will delve into this complex landscape, exploring strategies to nurture physical prowess and the mental fortitude necessary for young athletes everywhere to thrive on and off the field.

"The GOALS Council embodies growth, organization, advancement, and learning in soccer, making it the perfect conduit to dive into key issues affecting youth sports," said Frances Fabian, Head of Partner Engagement at Sports Connect. "We are enthusiastic about this upcoming discussion and looking forward to creating actionable solutions at the community, regional, and national levels of soccer to drive positive change in the sport."

Sedona Lago Gardens, a new Community Empowering Neurodiversity, launches an innovative Free Summer Webinar Series Exploring ‘Relationships on the Spectrum,’ ‘Independent Living Life Skills,’ and ‘Launching Careers’

SEDONA, Ariz. /ScoopCloud/ -- Sedona Lago Gardens is excited to announce the opening of a new residential community for young adults with neurodiversity, like autism. Sedona Lago will showcase their innovative approach in a free Summer webinar series exploring "Relationships on the Spectrum," "Independent Living Life Skills," and "Launching Careers."

Opening in July of 2023, the village-like community offers a customized "Pathways to Independence" program with curriculums in four targeted domains: Independent Living, Social Awareness and Achievement, Vocational Skills and Management, and Personal Health and Wellness.

"Our community offers unprecedented opportunities for self-directed neurodivergent young adults to polish their skills, pursue their dreams, and become more independent," said Gary Wagner, Founder and President of Sedona Lago Gardens.

The free Summer webinar series will cover three topics: "Relationships on the Spectrum," "Independent Living Life Skills," and "Launching Careers." Each 60-minute webinar will include a brief introduction to Sedona Lago Gardens, a 20-minute presentation-style discussion, followed by an interactive Q&A.

"We are excited to offer a fun, educational, and interactive webinar series," shares Life Coach Erin Boisrond.

The webinar series will be held on June 16, June 30, and July 7 from 11 a.m. to noon MDT. For more information and to register, visit https://sedonalago.org/ or call 928-325-8400.

Research shows that neurodiversity, such as autism, is extensively linked to deficits in executive functioning skills. Sedona Lago selects 11 executive functioning domains (task initiation, attention, working memory, time management, organization, planning, flexibility, perseverance, processing, emotional regulation, and impulse control) to target deficits and increase individual productivity. These skills are embedded in the fully customized curriculum. They will also be woven into the webinar discussions.

"Young adults with neurodiversity face unique challenges often coupled with anxiety related to the demand to perform both at the high school and postsecondary levels. Increased academic, social, and personal challenges frequently develop in the mid to late teen years, making it difficult for adults with neurodiversity like autism to find independent success and feel confident in their skill set," added Boisrond. "This is why it is so important for us to customize programs and experiences for each individual."

The Pathways to Independence program is also available to individuals living in the Verde Valley area. It utilizes an evidence-based curriculum and individually customized programming developed by professionals as part of the psychological and educational assessment process.

About Sedona Lago Gardens:

Sedona Lago Gardens and the Pathways to Independence Program offer a pioneering approach for self-directed young adults with neurodiversity, including ADHD, autism, fetal alcohol syndrome, cognitive challenges, or other neurodivergent capabilities. Their highly focused, one-on-one coaching is based on the stated life goals of each resident and integrated with the rest of the community and work life. They are a 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit community and an affiliate of Rainbow Acres.

Absolute Trust Counsel to Hold Free Virtual Trust Administration Event for California CFPs and CPAs

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Leading Bay Area estate planning firm Absolute Trust Counsel will host a free virtual event, The Absolute Trust Academy Trust Administration 101, on October 28, 2022, to equip CPAs and CFPs with a stronger knowledge of trust administration processes.

Boosting their knowledge base benefits both their clients and their business. And, having these tools in their arsenal will also help build a more robust plan and head off future problems."

The event will be held from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. via Zoom and will feature several local experts who will teach the basics of what needs to be done when a client has died. Audience members will learn and implement proven planning strategies and tactics to address clients' unique needs while maximizing business potential.

"Clients really do rely on their CPAs and CFPs to get them through this very challenging time," Howe continued. "So, we are doing this webinar to help all CFPs and CPAs give even greater service to their clients."

Event topics and speakers include:

* Margaret Schopp, CPA, Schopp & Co. - "Tax Compliance: Form 706"
* Karen Fisher, Principal, Bishop Fiduciary Services, Ltd. - "Helping Clients with Best Practices"

DES MOINES, Iowa /ScoopCloud/ -- iEmergent, a forecasting and advisory services firm for the financial services, mortgage and real estate industries, will host a virtual workshop on Special Purpose Credit Programs (SPCPs) on Wednesday, November 9, from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. ET. Through roundtable discussion and a hands-on practicum, "Tapping the Potential of SPCPs: A Hands-on Workshop for Mortgage Lenders" will give attendees the skills and confidence necessary to develop and launch successful SPCPs while earning points toward their Certified Mortgage Banker (CMB) designation from the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA).

SPCPs are lending programs designed to give preferential lending terms to groups of people, like people of color and women, who would otherwise receive less favorable terms or altogether be excluded from access to credit.

Hosted by iEmergent, the November 9 event will feature input from a diverse array of subject-matter experts, including:

* Mosi Gatling, Sales Manager, loanDepot
* Jason Fraley, SVP & Community Lending Director, Huntington Bank

The workshop will end with a Q&A session, giving attendees the opportunity to request personalized advice for building and optimizing their own SPCP initiatives.

"The government-sponsored enterprises have made addressing the longstanding racial homeownership gap a top priority, and SPCPs give lenders a unique opportunity to engage in the enterprises' equitable housing initiatives," said Nossuli. "By uncovering how to leverage SPCPs to expand credit opportunities among those impacted by discrimination, our virtual workshop will help lenders maintain purchase volume and level the playing field for underserved, would-be borrowers."

This course's purpose is to strengthen and gain mastery over your health while you expedite the re-entry process into our brave new world to turn the ongoing worldwide crisis into an empowering opportunity.

Dr. Sheen summarized his latest course release sharing, "This course expands the vision of wellness and how the body functions, to help overcome the multiple layers of pandemic stress and anxiety which has harmed the body's disease tolerance and immune levels. The quarantine's stresses weakened both the immune and endocrine systems from the constant assault on its homeostasis. The international traumas of death and fear have been burnt into the brain through massive electronic fixations that has rewired billions of brains with unhealthy neural networks while turning on negative expressions of their genes. This unprecedented event has predisposed everyone to mental, emotional, and physical illnesses that vaccines cannot provide protection from."

In this empowering new course, students discover in in a few hours from the engaging videos and materials many helpful approaches to use the sciences of epigenetics and quantum embodiment. These combine the life changing approaches Dr. Sheen shares in his breakthrough books, "The Epigenetics Cure, Re-educating Your Cells and DNA for Optimal Health" (available on Amazon in English, Spanish and Audible editions) and "Accessing Your inner Pharmacy" (available on Amazon in English and Spanish).

Samples of the course's subjects include:

Enhancing natural immunities for prevention against illness or disease, alternatives for replacing the medications for depression, ADHD, insomnia, high blood pressure and thyroid imbalances, enhancing your limbic system and disease tolerance, rewiring your brains inner GPS, strengthening your microbiome to catalyze your DNA, injecting your mind with a psychoneuroimmunology based immune booster and discovering how to heal traumatic intergenerational epigenetic tags distorting your DNA.

The course, like Dr. Sheen's books, is experientially based to train yourself in the most up to date scientific tools and strategies to protect your family and yourself from this pandemic's illness and disease and the scores of others plaguing our country such as heart disease and cancer. In easy to understand and follow techniques, students can become proficient to use the most up to date epigenetic-based methods of neuroscience, to overcome the current stress, anxiety, and assault on mental, emotional, and physical health.

As Dr. Sheen espouses, "In a world dominated by social media's cult-like factions, it is vital everyone understand the facts of how their body and mind can work together to become the masters of their wellness and prevent falling victim to the economic and political vested interest groups that seek to control them."

To celebrate our upcoming Independence Day there is a special promo code for a 30% discount available until July 4, 2021. Why not become the master of your health? This Master Class "Overcoming Today's Stress, Anxiety and Assault on Health Course" is specially priced at only $34 when using the promo code.

Marijunana Home Gardens To Conduct Seminars on How to Legally Grow Marijuana in Your Home – Legal in Arizona

TEMPE, Ariz. /ScoopCloud/ -- empe, Arizona-based, Marijuana Home Gardens announces it is conducting a series of seminars to teach Arizona residents how to legally and effectively grow marijuana in their residences.

Six months after the passage of the Smart and Safe Act (Arizona Proposition 207) that now allows Arizona residents to grow and harvest marijuana for personal use, amateur gardeners are excitedly seeking resources to grow high-value plants in their homes.

For that reason, and because of a lack of existing options in the marketplace, Marijuana Home Gardens created the Outdoor Grow Hut, a marijuana grow house kit, which has substantial advantages to growing indoors. This complete kit includes premium organic super soil, seeds from a third-party partner (www.marijuanaseedconnect.com), planter pots, and a watering system.

Their Outdoor Grow Hut provides a safe, electricity-free environment to maximize plant growth and minimize all equipment and maintenance costs.

With 5 years' experience in growing medicinal marijuana plants, company founder, Dante Anthony, is conducting a series of seminars, where he will be teaching gardeners the fine art of successful growing.

"While we offer optional gardening services that can get you from seed to smoke in 90 days, we found many people are interested in applying their horticultural skills towards growing on their own." says Dante. "It is a tricky process and I get flooded with questions all the time from passionate gardeners and thought it's time to help them get on the path to a constant crop."

The first seminar is being hosted by the Sun Lakes Garden Club at the Chapel Center in Chandler (9230 E. Sun Lakes Blvd) on Tuesday, June 15th at 10 AM. Visitors are welcome to attend and may be from any city with any level of experience.

Recovery Expert Slash Coleman To Discuss New Laughter Yoga Addiction Treatment in Webinar to Help Participants Sustain Long-term Sobriety

RICHMOND, Va. /ScoopCloud/ -- Renowned author and US Laughter Ambassador Slash Coleman announced today that he will offer a webinar on a new form of addiction treatment entitled "Redefining Addiction and Recovery Through Laughter Yoga." Hosted by the Master Center for Addiction Medicine, this free webinar will occur on Wednesday, April 7, 2021 from 6 - 7:30 p.m. ET and is meant for addiction specialists, laughter yoga professionals, and participants struggling with substance and activity addictions.

Coleman will speak about an in-patient recovery program he created at a treatment facility in 2019 aimed at helping those who struggle with addictions to: alcohol, drugs, sex, relationships, spending, gambling, eating, and self-injury. The program, which has been utilized successfully as an initiative with the US Department of Veterans Affairs, has been known to help participants gain independence from addictive behavior by: reducing stress related cravings, boosting resistance to intense urges and building purpose, self-esteem and sober coping strategies.

"I grew up with addiction in my family and know firsthand the pain it causes," Coleman says. "It's gratifying to see how something as simple as laughter can have such a positive impact on something as complex as addiction."

Slash Coleman is best known for his work on stage, in books and on television where he often uses his irreverent humor to create stories related to his family's struggle with addiction. In 2015, after suffering a mysterious lung collapse while on his book tour, his journey back to health led him to India where he studied with Dr. Madan Kataria, the founder of the worldwide laughter yoga movement.

"Using laughter yoga to support multiple treatment paths makes this unique," says Alexa Fong Drubay, Executive Director of Laughter Yoga USA. "Since addiction is a family disease, our network of free laugher clubs around the world allows us to not only focus on individuals struggling with addiction, but provide family members with support, as well."

Enrollment in the webinar is limited and pre-registration is recommended at: https://laughteryogarichmond.com/masterclass.

There is no cost for participants, though a $25 recommended donation for laughter professionals and those who work in a recovery-related field is suggested. For more information visit https://laughteryogarichmond.com/.

MCT’s Business Intelligence Platform Gives Lenders Competitive Advantage with Actionable Insights and Data

SAN DIEGO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- MCT announced the upcoming launch of their Business Intelligence Platform, a powerful web-based analytics platform designed to empower lenders to understand the market, optimize their loan sales, and improve performance relative to their peers. The platform will be officially released and demonstrated during an MCT client webinar on October 15, 2020 at 11 a.m. PT/PDT.

"We developed MCT Business Intelligence to help lenders contextualize their business within the industry and dive deep into the data," stated Bill Petersohn, Managing Director of Business Intelligence. "When our clients have access to actionable secondary market data, they will achieve greater internal competence and pickup in the secondary market. With 1 in 5 of all loans in the United States going through the MCT pipeline, clients obtain the visibility they need to interpret their performance and reach for greater profits. This Business Intelligence Platform is the most comprehensive secondary market analytics tool on the market."

MCT Business Intelligence aggregates mortgage pipeline and loan sale data from MCTlive!, the comprehensive capital markets software platform used by MCT staff and clients, to provide strategic insights to MCT clients in the form of customizable reports and illustrative charts.

In 2015, after receiving constant requests for investor color from clients, MCT created the first client-exclusive report set - the iMarket Monthly Review. Soon after, clients enjoyed the addition of Quarterly Peer Benchmark Reports that showcased sold data of all MCT clients' performance. These two static reports allowed lenders to compare aspects of their secondary market data to their peers and to the MCT average on a monthly and quarterly basis.

Users of the dynamic Business Intelligence Platform are now able to dive deep into, not only sold, but locked and investor data with highly customizable views. The software allows users to measure the impact of their historical production and iterate further adjustments to fine-tune their offerings. With the diverse reporting variables and filters, lenders are able to drill down on FICO scores, locations, programs, volume, and more to empower them in their decision-making.

"During the pandemic-induced market volatility in early 2020, MCT was able to guide clients through periods of intense basis risk and rapid agency/aggregator eligibility changes with a constant stream of data and recommendations," shares Curtis Richins, President of MCT.

"Now we are putting MCT Business Intelligence in the hands of our lenders to help them improve their performance both during and outside periods of market volatility."

Key features of the platform include reports of market trends, pricing comparisons, Best Effort to Mandatory spreads, tools to locate new business opportunities and more! Visit https://mct-trading.com/ or call (619) 543-5111 to learn about the many functionalities of the platform.

MCT Adds Investors to Bid Tape AOT Tri-Party Agreement Automation in its Bid Auction Manager (BAM) Platform

SAN DIEGO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- SAN DIEGO, Calif., Oct. 5, 2018 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Mortgage Capital Trading, Inc. (MCT), a leading mortgage hedge advisory and secondary marketing software firm, announced that new investor bid tape assignment-of-trade (AOT) loan sale executions are now available for sellers using its BAM whole loan trading platform. These new executions will benefit from automation of the required Tri-Party Agreement, significantly improving accuracy and efficiency for what is already a game-changing delivery option for the secondary market.

The most recent investor to announce the availability of a bid tape AOT program is Amerihome Mortgage Company, who began the process of opening the execution to approved sellers as of Monday, October 1, 2018. MCT is also proud to join PennyMac Loan Services' bid tape AOT pilot program, with a launch date for MCT mutual clients tentatively slated for October 8, 2018.

Offering a bid tape AOT loan sale delivery option has rapidly become a priority for leading correspondent investors. This new execution combines the granularity of price available via bid tape with the cash benefits of assigning the trade, which have historically been mutually exclusive.

According to MCT's Chief Operating Officer, Phil Rasori, "Under the right conditions, bid tape AOT offers a prescriptive economic value over other executions. For this and other reasons, we're seeing widespread interest and rapid adoption among our lender clients."

The benefits and challenges of these new bid tape AOT executions will be presented in a complimentary industry webinar hosted by Mr. Rasori on Thursday, October 11, 2018 at 11 a.m. PDT. Register: https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/1084824745332320258.

In August 2018, MCT released a first-of-its-kind technology to automate the Tri-Party Agreement required between lenders, investors, and broker dealers during AOT transactions in the secondary market. This requirement was one of the final hurdles in the AOT process. Manual completion of these agreements for each transaction was not only extremely inefficient, but it also introduced additional risk into the process via the potential for data entry discrepancies.

"Before the Tri-Party automation, I had to write in all the fields, print and attach all the confirms, sign, scan, and send for every AOT," said Andrew Stringer, Director of Secondary/Capital Markets at First Bank. "Without the Tri-Party automation, I probably wouldn't bother with bid tape AOT transactions very often, because the time cost might outweigh the pickup."

After beta testing bid tape AOT with select Wells Fargo sellers early in 2018, MCT rolled out the execution across their award-winning Bid Auction Manager(TM) (BAM) loan sale best execution platform in May. Lenders or investors interested in learning more about bid tape AOT executions are invited to join MCT for a complimentary industry webinar on Thursday, October 11 at 11 a.m. PDT hosted by Phil Rasori, COO. MCT will also be available for in-person meetings and demonstrations at the MBA's Annual Convention & Expo, held October 14-17, 2018 in Washington, D.C.

Tax Resolution Expert Teaches Tax Pros How to Ramp Up Business and Dramatically Boost Their Bottom Line

STUDIO CITY, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- An exclusive, interactive 4-hour live training for CPAs, EAs and attorneys - "The 7-Figure Tax Resolution Practice Blueprint" - is scheduled for Thursday, June 28 at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET). This free training is hosted by tax resolution expert, Michael Rozbruch, founder of Roz Strategies. He'll show tax professionals how to start a tax resolution practice from scratch (like he did) or take an existing practice to the next level.

Rozbruch helped pioneer the tax resolution industry, and in 16 years generated more than 100 million dollars in revenue. This live training will reveal the five steps to attract and retain a continuous flow of pay-in-advance IRS tax resolution clients, month-after-month.

"Just imagine what it would be like to stop doing $250-$300 tax returns and trading dollars for hours," Rozbruch says. "When you add IRS Representation services it opens up a year-round steady stream of income from not only people who need you, but who value you as demonstrated by the fees they'll pay."

Attendees will learn how to tap into a ready-made market of 14 million prospects. Rozbruch will share the exact strategies he used to generate $23 million in sales in one year, the secret to getting retained, how to get paid before the client's case is settled and more.

In addition, registrants will also receive free access to four training videos valued at more than $1,000.

"It's not about making an incremental improvement in a current business; it's about a new opportunity and a quantum leap in income," Rozbruch says. "Plus, the intrinsic value of helping someone get their financial life back is incalculable."

Mortgage Capital Trading Announces Complimentary Webinar Addressing Changes to FINRA’s Market to Market Rule

SAN DIEGO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Mortgage Capital Trading, Inc. (MCT), a leading mortgage hedge advisory and secondary marketing software firm, announced that it will be holding a complimentary educational webinar discussing many important changes to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) Mark to Market Rule. The webinar, hosted by the Community Mortgage Lenders of America (CMLA), will guide lenders through all of the mandated rule changes in advance of the required implementation date of June 25, 2018. Lenders will leave the webinar with a good understanding of the rule details, how it will affect their businesses, and how to prepare for it.

According to FINRA Regulatory Notice 16-31, amendments to Rule 4210 will change margin requirements for Covered Agency Transactions, including the TBA transactions central to MCT pipeline hedging strategies. FINRA members will be required to collect daily MTM margin from all counterparties on these transactions. However, the margin is not required to be collected or charged to net capital if the aggregate required but uncollected MTM loss does not exceed $250,000.

Topic: What the FINRA Mark to Market Rule Means for You
Speaker: Phil Rasori, Chief Operating Officer at Mortgage Capital Trading, Inc. (MCT)
Organizer: Glen Corso, Executive Director at Community Mortgage Lenders of America (CMLA)
Date: Thurs., Nov. 16, 2017
Time: 2 p.m. EST/11 a.m. PST.

Webinar Overview:
Starting June 25, 2018 if a lender's net mark to market position on covered agency transactions is more than negative $250,000 on a daily basis, their FINRA registered broker dealer will be required to collect the amount that exceeds $250,000. This change is a result of a rules change by the FINRA, which regulates most broker-dealers in the U.S.

This webinar, featuring Phil Rasori, COO of Mortgage Capital Trading, Inc. (MCT), will inform lenders what they need to know about this rule change, what it will mean for their company and what they can do to minimize any negative impact due to the rule change.

Register for this complimentary webinar to learn what this change will mean for you and your business moving forward. https://www.eventbrite.com/e/complimentary-webinar-finra-mark-to-market-rule-tickets-39099150612
