Fallen Officer’s Memory Kept Alive Through Mark Dunakin Memorial Award for Extraordinary Achievement

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Sergeant Orrlando Mayes with the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department is the 2017 recipient of the Mark Dunakin Memorial Award for Extraordinary Achievement, the Union Institute & University announced today.

The graduation was held Sunday, August 13 where the award was presented.

The 25-year law enforcement veteran is humbled by the honor. "I am grateful to be considered in the same league as Sergeant Dunakin," said Mayes.

The Mark Dunakin Memorial Award was established to honor the memory of Sergeant Dunakin, a UI&U student who tragically lost his life on March 21, 2009, at the age of 40, when he and three other Oakland police officers were killed in the line of duty.

The award is presented to a new graduate of the Union Institute & University Sacramento Academic Center Criminal Justice Management program who serves in law enforcement and who emulates Sergeant Dunakin's commitment to community service, academic success, and enthusiasm for Union's Criminal Justice Management program.

The faculty noted Mayes was a perfect match for the criteria, particularly in his thoughtful approach and his desire to go above and beyond in everything he does.

The father of four decided early that he wanted to be in the law enforcement profession and that he wanted a college degree. "I was in the eighth-grade when I set a goal of completing my college degree. That day is here and I credit my family, especially my grandmother, for supporting me and my dreams."

Mayes is grateful for his career. "Helping people is my calling. I get more from them than they get from me. Every time I help someone, I walk away with perspective and empathy toward others."

Sergeant Mayes currently serves as the Academy Director for the Sacramento Sheriff's Academy. Prior to being promoted to sergeant, he spent 14 years on the SWAT team as the Assistant Team Leader. As sergeant, he remains active as an auxiliary SWAT team member.

In 2010, Sergeant Mayes was involved in one of California's longest hostage standoffs, during which he participated with his team to help save the life of a 16-month-old child after 56 hours of intense negotiation. He was recently reunited with the child, who has said he wants to be a police officer just like Mayes. And, the child's uncle, who was deployed overseas with the military at the time of the standoff, was so inspired by the officers' work that he is now a deputy with the Sacramento County Sherriff's Department.

"My goal of earning my college degree is a dream come true," said Mayes. "I was born and raised in Oakland. I didn't know Sergeant Dunakin, but I attended his funeral," said Mayes. "I will cherish this honor."

The other recipients of the Union Institute & University Mark Dunakin Memorial Award for Extraordinary Achievement are:
* 2011 - Isabel Resendez
* 2013 - Frederick Henry Bobbitt Jr. and Tony Silva
* 2015 - Ray Framstad
* 2016 - Sergio Lepe.

ReverseVision Vice President of Sales and Marketing Wendy Peel Selected to HousingWire 2017 ‘Women of Influence’ List

SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- ReverseVision, the leading provider of software and technology for the reverse mortgage industry, today announced that Wendy Peel, its vice president of sales and marketing, has been named to HousingWire's 2017 "Women of Influence" list.

Peel was recognized for her industry-wide efforts to reposition the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM), once seen as a fringe loan product, as a timely and logical option for mortgage lenders serving borrowers age 62 and older. The strategy of Generational Lending(TM) is the latest push to normalize the HECM product with banks and mortgage lenders. Due in large part to Peel's strategic marketing, ReverseVision has earned a reputation as not only the HECM market's leading origination platform, but as a trusted expert in the industry.

After spearheading ReverseVision's inaugural user conference in 2016 - which convened industry leaders, lenders and brokers from 67 companies, including four of the nation's top five reverse lenders - Peel took UserCon up a notch in 2017. The most recent conference combined sessions designed to educate new-to-HECM originators on the basics of HECM lending with compelling compliance and technology training for seasoned HECM loan officers. An insightful presentation by noted mortgage industry expert Rob Chrisman brought the theme of introducing HECMs into traditional lending full circle.

Peel also crystallized a strategy to re-orient banks and credit unions to the product gap HECM loans fill for the retiring Baby Boomer generation. This concept targets normalizing the HECM product while explaining the benefits of offering these loans as part of a larger business plan.

"Wendy has been very influencial in the HECM lending niche since joining us in 2015," said ReverseVision President and CEO John Button. "Since then, she has led our efforts to encourage HECM lending by traditional lenders and banks. Her generational lending strategy is resonating with these businesses, and we are beginning to see an influx of new players entering the reverse mortgage space."

"As the mortgage industry continues to do the right thing - increase diversity in the workforce - the housing finance business will likewise keep moving from strength to strength," said HousingWire Editor-in-Chief Jacob Gaffney. "The progress is undeniable; as the number of influential women in housing grows, so does our recognition for the Influential Women of Housing. Our list is bigger and better than ever."

Peel previously served as vice president of sales and marketing for cloud-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications provider CommercePromote and in similar roles at iCoStore, Take Notice, PNA and TransPerfect Translations.

Now in its seventh year, HousingWire's "Women of Influence" list honors individuals who have made notable contributions both to their businesses and to the industry at large. For a full list of honorees, visit: https://www.housingwire.com/articles/40821-women-of-influence-2017.
