CHLA is the only national association that exclusively represents independent mortgage banks (IMBS) and its members are predominantly small and mid-sized lenders. Prior to that, Mr. Olson worked in Congress for 20 years, including 15 years as Housing Policy Director for the House Financial Services Committee.
