Rebecca Malicsi-Szymanski:
It's all About Giving Back to the Community
|
As President and Principal Broker of Sunrise Lending, Inc., a
licensed mortgage brokerage company in Orlando, Rebecca "Becky"
Szymanski used her extensive background in the finance industry to
set the stage for fulfilling her dream of establishing her own
successful mortgage business.
Prior to her transition from the corporate world to
entrepreneurship, Becky had twenty years of experience having worked
with several of the country's leading banking institutions. Her vast
knowledge of the business is what sets her apart from other mortgage
brokers.
What sets her even further apart is her burning desire to make a
difference in the community she lives and works in.
Although she has her hands full with the day-to-day tasks of running
her mortgage business, Becky still finds the time to lend a helping
hand.
This is evidenced by the many civic organizations she is a member
of. To mention a few, she is currently the President of the Asian
American Chamber of Commerce (AACC) and the Asian American Women
Association (AAWA). She also served as a past president of the AACC
in 2000 and an active board member from 1998-1999.
"America's strength lies in its diversity", says Becky. "We have a
role to play in creating an America that accepts and understands our
differences." |

She further adds, "The Asian American Chamber of Commerce is not
only inviting other Asian Americans in business to join the AACC but
also non-Asians who would like to do business with the Asian
American community. Those interested can contact me for more
information."
Other than the AACC, Becky is currently a board member for the
Orlando Regional Chamber of Commerce, UCF President Minority Adviser
and Vice-Chair of the Asian American Heritage Council. Prior to
relocating her family to Orlando, Becky was active in Melbourne,
Florida where she served as President of the Filipino American
Association of Brevard County (FAABCO).
Committed to eliminating child abuse from our communities, Becky
also founded and served as President of the National Exchange Club
both in Brevard and Osceola counties. The primary focus of this
organization was Child Abuse Prevention. Because of her unwavering
dedication to worthwhile projects in her community, she was made a
recipient of the special National Award for Volunteerism in 1996.
She was also chosen by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to
participate in the FBI Community Outreach and is a graduate of the
FBI Citizen Academy. She is one of the Judge for Florida Future
Business Leaders of America/Phi Beta Lamda yearly.
Her ongoing affiliations also include the Leadership Orlando Alumni
Association, Orlando Regional Chamber of Commerce, the
National
Mortgage Broker Association (NAMB) and the Florida Mortgage Broker
Association (FAMB).
Becky runs her mortgage business with the same passion she devotes
to her community outreach programs. For Becky, it's all about giving
back and "paying it forward.
