     VA Announces Deputy Director of Veterans Affairs Loan Guaranty Service

     A recent VA announcement:

     Dear Colleagues-

     It is with great honor that I announce the selection of Mr. John Bell, III as Deputy Director of the Veteran’s Affairs
     Loan Guaranty Service.  Although John has worked with Loan Guaranty in various positions for nearly 8 years, he
     came to the Department of Veterans Affairs as a seasoned professional in the mortgage industry.  His resume
     includes over 20 years of progressively higher level positions with a number of top lending and financing firms.

     Mr. Bell rapidly moved through the Loan Guaranty ranks with his most recent position as the Assistant Director of
     Loan Policy and Valuation for six years.  In managing three distinct business sections, John was responsible for
     creating, planning, and implementing numerous initiatives designed to transform Loan Guaranty's delivery of benefits
     by embracing technology and automation.  John has served as a senior leader for VA at the joint agency
     collaboration between Housing and Urban Development, Department of Agriculture, Consumer Financial Protection
     Bureau, Fannie Mae, and Ginnie Mae to address topics specific to the Federal housing industry.

     During his tenure with the Department, John has shown himself to be a tireless advocate for Veterans in pursuit of
     home ownership.  In his new capacity, Mr. Bell will continue to uphold the Loan Guaranty mission of assisting
     Veterans to obtain, retain, and adapt homes.  Due to Mr. Bell’s ongoing role as the Executive Management Officer
     with VA’s Office of Economic Opportunity, it is anticipated he will begin his full duties as Deputy Director during the
     second quarter of the fiscal year.  Please join me in congratulating John for this wonderful accomplishment.

     Most sincerely,

     Jeff London
     Director, Loan Guaranty Service
