Mortgage Lending

MCBC’s Mortgage Lending Committee

The Committee meetings are open meetings held throughout the year on a variety of topics related to mortgage lending trends.  At our meetings, you can network with those who share similar interests or responsibilities and discuss topics related to your industry. Each meeting is facilitated by MCBC co-chairs and staff as well as attendees who volunteer to lead the discussion. These sessions are designed to encourage an informal and collegial exchange of experiences and insights. Membership in MCBC is encouraged to help sustain our efforts, but is not a requirement to attend meetings.

Co-Chairs

Elliot Schmiedl, Director of Homeownership, Massachusetts Housing Partnership

Michelle Meiser, AVP of Community Partnerships and Development, Cambridge Trust
