CMBA-BC ELECTS FIRST-EVER ALL-WOMAN EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Growing CMBA-BC’s membership and improving communication with members are priorities BY CHRIS FREIMOND
“T
he times are changing” is Deb White’s simple yet meaningful characterization of the unprecedented election of an all-woman four-member executive committee to help guide the day-to-day operations of the Canadian Mortgage Brokers Association of British Columbia (CMBA-BC) for the next two years. It's the first all-woman executive committee in the Association’s 31-year history, and White is only the fourth woman to ever be elected to lead the board. White, a mortgage broker with White House Dominion Lending
Centres in Vernon, B.C., is joined by vice-president Marci Deane, a broker with Mortgage Architects in North Vancouver; secretary Jane Wakelyn with Dominion Lending Centres in Prince George; and treasurer Caroline Roach, a broker with Fitzwilliam Mortgage Corp. in Nanaimo on Vancouver Island. White has previously served as treasurer on the executive board and Deane as secretary. The Association’s 11-member board of directors, currently comprising six men and five women, is elected by CMBA-BC members. The full board then elects the four-person executive committee.
