New American Funding, a national mortgage banker, today announces the National Association of Women in Real Estate Businesses will honor their President, Patty Arvielo, with The Talkie Award. NAWRB is an organization dedicated to providing women the tools and opportunities for economic expansion and growth, while advocating and promoting women-owned businesses specializing in the housing economy.

NAWRB will host a weekend conference, including a Roaring Twenty Awards Gala in Long Beach, CA on August 18, 2015. The event is in celebration of the professional and personal achievements of women as well as their ability to inspire and advocate for other women. 

“I feel so proud to be recognized by NAWRB with these exceptional women. It’s incredibly fulfilling to lend support and guidance to other women in my industry,” commented Arvielo.

The 1920s themed celebration takes cue from the decade known for drastic transformations, particularly in the role of women. Awards at the Gala include The Flapper, The Gatsby, The Charleston, and others. The Talkie Award honors a pioneering woman who is gaining ground and making her mark in the world of marketing, and branding her business to build a successful enterprise.

Patty Arvielo co-founded New American Funding in 2003 as a 40-employee call center, and has grown the company into a national mortgage lender funding over $900 million in home loans per month, with an estimated $9 billion servicing portfolio. She is Chairman of the Corporate Board of Governors for the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals (NAHREP), is on the Executive Board of Big Brothers Big Sisters Orange County, actively participates in mentoring programs with The Hispanic 100, and provides a corporate environment wherein many women excel.
