Welcoming new board member, Melissa Langdale!

During our recent TMC Reunited conference in California, the TMC’s Lender-led Board of Directors met and officially voted in Melissa Langdale, Chief Mortgage Officer at Right By You Mortgage, as a new member.  

“Melissa’s been one of our most engaged community bank members and her impressive industry background and fresh perceptive on the industry make her very well-liked and respected amongst her lender member peers,” said Rich Swerbinsky, COO and President of TMC. We couldn’t agree more! 

We asked Melissa to answer a few questions about her favorite things and what she’s most excited about in her new role on TMC’s board.

I’m non-discriminatory when it comes to food…put it in front of me, and I’ll probably eat it. 😊
