Sheri’s work has helped us rethink our general approach to Diversity and Inclusion and specific approach to our Women’s Initiative.” Mr. Smith continued, “Walker & Dunlop was ranked the #3 HUD lender based on MAP (Multifamily Accelerated Processing) volume for the past two consecutive years. Under Sheri’s leadership, we are confident that we will continue growing our HUD platform.”
 
Paula Pryor, Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer, added, “Sheri has re-invigorated our ‘Women in Production’ group and helped advance our efforts to be a great place to work for all. She returned to Walker & Dunlop intent on making a difference, and it is remarkable to reflect on all that she has accomplished in the past 18 months.”
