  HFA Annual User Conference No Comments

  On behalf of Emphasys Software, I’d like to thank you all for joining us in Miami Beach for the 2009 HFA User Conference.  I appreciate the time you took out of your busy schedules to be here and the added burden of working with tight budgets.

  Whether it was the demonstrations, training, or the networking, I hope your time with us was enjoyable and productive.  My wish is that you came away with lots of new information you can put to use right away.

  Have a safe trip home and I look forward to welcoming you to the 2010 HFA User Conference.  Thank you for your continued support.

  George Rodriguez

  Conference dinner & reception rocks Orchid Terrace

  HFA Annual User Conference No Comments

  The reception tonight, sponsored by Bank of America, was a boisterous if breezy affair.  A “gentle” ocean breeze “wafted” through the Orchid Terrace and Mother Nature saved us the effort of blowing the froth off our beers.

  Wind aside, everyone enjoyed themselves thoroughly and, thanks to the great music mixing abilities of DJ Alfonso, needed minimal encouragement to get rowdy.

  The dinner gave everyone a chance to come in out of the wind and enjoy a full buffet of local favorites like marinated hearts of palm, ceviche, Jamaican jerked chicken, and grilled mahi mahi.

  Afterwards, the amplifier was turned up to eleven, and George and friends put on a fine display of salsa moves on the impromptu dance floor.

  Conference kicksoff on Orchid Terrace

  HFA Annual User Conference No Comments

  The 2009 HFA User Conference officially got started last night with a welcome reception on the Alexander’s Orchid Terrace. The Miami weather did not disappoint and the food, drinks and conversation were all well, well above par.

  The wide-ranging conversations included discussions on ants, toes, flip-flops, pink hair extensions, barbecuing, and egg whites to name just a few.

  We’ll just let you guess which of those George was talking about.

  Welcome to Miami and the HFA User Conference

  HFA Annual User Conference No Comments

  We’re excited to welcome our HFA clients to Miami Beach and this year’s Emphasys User Conference.  Our host hotel, The Alexander, is ready for your arrival and our staff is putting the finishing touches on their presentations.

  We have three educational tracks centered on our HFA product concentrations: Single Family, Multifamily, and Financials.  Our Single Family track will be in the Orchid Ballroom 3 and will feature sessions on Foreclosure Tracking, Lender Portal, and Loan Servicing just to name a few.

  The Multifamily track is being hosted in the Orchid Ballroom 1 and will include sessions on Investment Management & Control (IM&C), Funding Application, Certification Portal, and many others.

  You’ll find the Financial track in the Boardroom where we’ll cover topics like Swap Contracts, GL Reporting, Debt Mangagement, and much more.

  Besides our educational and training offerings, we will have plenty of time for attendees to network with other affordable housing professionals.  We have a welcome reception scheduled today from 6 – 7 PM on the Orchid Terrace, breakfasts, lunches, breaks, and a Thursday cocktail reception followed by dinner.

  And you’ll be happy to hear the weather is cooperating, too.  Today we’re looking for a high of 83 degrees and sun throughout the week.

  See you at noon for registration!
