The Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) announced the nomination of Christine Chandler to serve as the organization’s vice chairwoman for the 2024 membership year.
Chandler is executive vice president, chief credit officer and chief operating officer with M&T Realty Capital Corp. in Baltimore. She is expected to be installed at the association’s 110th Annual Convention in Philadelphia in October.
“Christine is a passionate and influential leader in real estate finance and is a terrific choice to lead MBA and its members through the challenges and opportunities our industry faces,” said Matt Rocco, 2023 MBA Chairman and president of Colliers Mortgage. “She is one of MBA’s most active members and is a strong advocate of ensuring sustainable homeownership and rental housing opportunities in communities nationwide. I congratulate her for this well-deserved honor of joining MBA’s leadership ladder.”
Chandler has been with M&T since 1991 and has more than 30 years of experience in commercial real estate finance. Since 2018, she has been responsible for making credit decisions for her company’s multifamily and health care transactions underwritten in the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and Federal Housing Administration platforms, as well as managing the company’s operations and its asset management group and transformation team.
Within the MBA, Chandler is a voting member of board of directors and serves as the 2023 Chairwoman of the Commercial Real Estate/Multifamily Finance Board of Governors. She was appointed to MBA’s DEI Committee in 2022 and its Audit Committee in 2021.
Outside of MBA & M&T, Chandler is a director for the University System of Maryland Foundation, where she serves on the governance committee, and has served as vice chairwoman of the advisory board for Partners in Excellence, an organization that is affiliated with the Archdiocese of Baltimore, where she was appointed to the board by Archbishop William E. Lori in 2017.
