Trade groups tied to reverse mortgage lenders, U.S. financial institutions and bank leaders in Mississippi all recently announced executive appointments.
The new co-chairs of the National Reverse Mortgage Lenders Association are Cheryl MacNally and John Nixon. The group said its board of directors unanimously elected the two at its Washington Policy Conference during June to replace outgoing co-chairs Joseph DeMarkey of MetLife Bank and Bart Johnson of Life Stages Financial.
MacNally has been with Wells Fargo Home Mortgage since 1993 and in mortgage lending for more than 20 years, NRMLA said. Nixon is reverse mortgage sales support and sales integration executive for Bank of America and has been in the industry since 1976.
Also joining the trade group’s executive committee were MetLife bank’s Robert Sivori, Mark Browning of HomeChex, James B. Nutter & Co.’s George Lopez and Wells Fargo Home Mortgage’s Diane Coats.
