The Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) recently announced the members of its Commercial Real Estate/Multifamily Finance Board of Governors (COMBOG) for 2021.
“MBA boasts a strong leadership group of professionals from all facets of commercial real estate finance.

COMBOG leads the strategic development of MBA’s commercial/multifamily policy and initiatives, as well as best practices and standards. Christopher LaBianca, UBS, will serve as COMBOG Chairman in 2021.
