The Radian Group – Year in Review
Thursday, December 13th, 2007As we prepared for our ITA Roundtable on the topic of 2007 Compliance events, it occurred to me that The Radian Group has had some major achievements this year and it would be a great idea as my first blog entry – to share them with you. As I should have been blogging all year, I will just catch everyone up and make a resolution to speak out more often (hard for me to do!) in 2008. I wish you all a very safe and happy holiday season.
