MBA forms council of CRE finance professionals

The Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) has announced the formation of the Capital Council, a business council made up of commercial real estate finance professionals from MBA member firms.

The Capital Council will serve as a forum for a broad and diverse group of commercial real estate capital providers, including life insurance companies, banks, securitized lenders, debt funds, and government-backed capital sources. Through the forum, participants can learn about market trends and conditions, with a focus on developing best practices and industry standards.

"The Capital Council is designed to be a valuable resource for those who shape and influence decisions on commercial real estate finance investment committees," MBA President and CEO Robert Broeksmit. "I encourage MBA members with an interest in developing business relationships and sharing their insights with key decision-makers in the commercial real estate finance industry to join and add their voice to the conversation."

The Capital Council, which succeeds the Investor Council, will be chaired by Jack Maher, managing director with Hartford Investment Management, and staffed by MBA's Director of Commercial/Multifamily Andrew Foster.

"We welcome participants from all MBA member firms who are interested in learning from their peers and contributing to moving our industry forward," Maher said.
