EDITORIAL BOARD

CMP proudly presents its new Editorial Board:

Alyson Thiessen – Mortgage Consultant, Mortgage Intelligence, Red Deer, Alberta
“CMP is the one publication that I read cover to cover every month. It’s not only informative, but also provides a broad view that is national in its scope. The brokerage community is evolving and becoming less insular. I believe that, as a community, CMP will become ever more important in the cohesion of our industry, coast to coast.”
Bruce Bark – Mortgage Broker and Financial Planner, The Mortgage Professionals, Kingston, Ontario
“The current terrain that we know as the Canadian mortgage brokering industry will not be recognizable within the next five to 10 years, as the industry transforms into a true profession, and having CMP available as a ‘road map’ will help all of us see not only where we are going but, more important, why we are going there!”
Gary Mauris – President, Dominion Lending Centres
"The landscape of the Canadian marketplace is changing rapidly with many new lenders, brokers, suppliers and products entering our industry at a frenzied pace. Together, we must continue to work on building and developing consumer confidence. Canadian Mortgage Professional (CMP) is another great vehicle to unite our entire industry, and act as a conduit in our ongoing efforts of building the profile of Canadian mortgage brokers and their valued partners."
Graeme Moss – Broker/Manager, Fair Mortgage Solutions, Hamilton, Ontario
“CMP provides the industry with a fresh approach. CMP is broker focused and independent. The articles are timely and positively effect broker business on a day-to-day level. The CMP approach of independence also allows both large and small voices to be heard, which is very empowering at the grassroots level. The CMP approach is different and it is long overdue.”
Hali Strandlund – Past-President , Mortgage Brokers Association of British Columbia (MBABC)
"Exciting times, these! The launch of Canadian Mortgage Professional is a special and auspicious occasion, and a cause for celebration. The maturity and coming of age of most professions is marked by the advent of a quality trade magazine, and CMP is an excellent example. The CMP forum is just what the doctor ordered for the burgeoning mortgage broker profession, and signals a great leap forward in communication, networking, education and information sharing."
John Bargis – Vice President, Mortgage Edge, Richmond Hill, Ontario
“CMP serves not only as a great educational tool for the masses, but also as an awareness vehicle for the veterans of our industry. CMP truly allows all who wish to get involved, large and small, to freely express their opinions, and addresses the sensitivities of both brokers and lenders alike. I encourage brokers to follow the magazine and get involved with CMP’s refreshing style – something that this industry has long been lacking.”
Karla Dreyer – Associate Vice President, Verico Financial Group, Vancouver, British Columbia
“CMP is a great resource and educational source for all industry professionals. With such a changing landscape, I find CMP a terrific monthly pulse on what is happening not only in the broker world, but also with lenders, insurers and other industry partners. It allows us to stay informed, see best practices and shares innovative marketing and sales techniques.”
Michael Cameron – CEO, Axiom Mortgage Partners
"I am pleased to support and encourage an independent forum for news and discussion in the ever changing mortgage industry. CMP will surely provide mortgage professionals across the country with timely and relevent industry information."
Michelle Watson – Mortgage Professional, Invis Della Dwyer Team, Markham, Ontario
“Since its inception, CMP has done a fantastic job of uniting mortgage professionals across the country, working at various levels of the industry. It seamlessly bridges educational gaps between formal ‘institutional’ training and informal knowledge gathered along a professional’s career. It provides relevant and timely information and views regarding topics that matter most. In my opinion, CMP is a required resource for professionals looking for an edge or have a need to stay ‘in the know’.”
Nikki Harrison – Mortgage Broker/Owner, Mortgages by Design, Calgary, Alberta
“Even as a young magazine, CMP has proven to be cutting edge, visiting issues that are of importance and interest to the broker community. As a burgeoning industry, we see our issues ever changing, always evolving, and the many matters that are brought to the forefront in the magazine are key to our growth, advancement and education. CMP is not only valuable, but a necessary internal voice within our industry.”
Nolan Matthias – Managing Partner, MortgageBrokers.com, Calgary, Alberta
“CMP provides a third-party voice that allows mortgage professionals across the country to learn and share with each other. CMP provides timely information on what is happening within the industry and how to prepare for the future. It touches on what industry members are doing to set themselves apart from the competition and what each of us can do to become more successful in our own industry-related endeavors.”
Rene Girard – President, Finder Financial Services Ltd
"In a new and exciting business such as the mortgage industry, it is so important to recognize change and opportunity at the same time. Being proactive in an evolving industry is also important and fresh publications such as the Canadian Mortgage Professional facilitate that. Canadian Mortgage Professional will provide insight and give new resources to the mortgage industry professional so that they can give their clients the very best information available today - ensuring that each mortgage agent will be looking out for their clients’ best interest."
Sharon Castelino –- Vice President, HLC Home Loans Canada
"A fresh, independent voice of the industry is long overdue and greatly needed. I am confident that Canadian Mortgage Professional will report on all facets of our industry, not only reflecting on where we have been but, more important, the many possible opportunities ahead."
