Based in part on our work last August with the Federal Reserve Bank and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency we have been invited to host a table at the upcoming Urban Marketplace this March.

Michael Banner, CEO of the Los Angeles, LDC, a community development financial institution, first introduced us to the Urban Land Institute of Los Angeles. Michael is a Trustee of ULI Los Angeles and past chair of their governance committee.
