MICA Publishes New Edition of PrivateMI Fact Book
Washington, D.C. August 15, 2001 - The Mortgage Insurance Companies of America (MICA) is distributing an updated version of its annual fact book.MICA's 2001-2002 Fact Book and Membership Directory provides a comprehensive overview of the PrivateMI industry, including key statistics and industry contacts.
The 48-page publication explains what PrivateMI is and how it works to expand homeownership opportunities. It also outlines the industry's history, financial performance and outlook for growth.
The cover of the latest MICA Fact Book reflects the theme of the organization's national awareness campaign, "PrivateMI. Today. Not Someday." The slogan refers to the advantages enjoyed by consumers using PrivateMI to become homeowners sooner and for less money down.
Copies of the MICA Fact Book are available by writing to the Mortgage Insurance Companies of America at 727 15th Street, N.W. 12th Floor, Washington, D.C. 20005; requests can also be faxed to (202) 393-5557 or e-mailed to jeff@micadc.org.
