SAN DIEGO, Calif., Aug 21, 2019 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — The Mortgage Collaborative (TMC), the mortgage industry’s only independent cooperative, today announced the addition of Kate deKay and Allison Johnston to their prestigious board of directors. Johnston and deKay were voted in Sunday, August 18, 2019, during the Lender Co-op board meeting, which took place in Nashville, Tennessee during TMC’s summer conference.
Kate deKay is the CEO of Eustis Mortgage Corporation and is responsible for leading the Eustis family of company brands. She comes from a long line of mortgage lending professionals and offers a fresh perspective about embracing technology and empowering her employees to make decisions in the best interest of customers.
Allison Johnston, chief operating officer of Success Mortgage Partners, brings over 27 years of diverse industry experience. Currently serving as the Mortgage Industry Advisory Board (MIAB) vice president, former Michigan Mortgage Lenders Association (MMLA) state board president and current MMLA ambassador and membership committee chairperson, Johnston provides new insight and understanding to all facets of the industry.
“When organizations lose touch with their customers and stop listening, they become irrelevant quickly,” says Jim Park, the chief executive officer of TMC. “That’s why at TMC, our members drive our focus and key initiatives. I’m very excited that our new board will help to continue our tradition of openness and collaboration.”
This tradition of openness and collaboration is what drove participation at TMC’s most recent summer conference, which was held August 18-20, 2019, in Nashville, Tennessee. With 348 attendees, TMC is celebrating a 17% increase in lender member attendance from their Winter Conference in Austin, Texas this past February. The Nashville event featured increasingly diverse lender members and speakers, an emphasis on relationship building and communication, new interactive whiteboard sessions, and the highest “LTV” (lender-to-vendor ratio) of any major industry conference thus far in 2019.
“We strive to create a conference experience for our lender members focused exclusively on our members’ wants and needs,” said Rich Swerbinsky, the chief operating officer of TMC. “We’re in an industry of constant change, and our members continue to provide us with excellent feedback on what they value out of a conference experience.”
TMC also announced the date and location for their next lender member conference, which will be held at The Roosevelt New Orleans, February 16-18, 2020. TMC’s conferences provide lender members a unique opportunity to interact with top industry leaders. Members participate in compelling and interactive sessions led by their peers focused on growth initiatives, business best practices and experiences with third party providers.
