“When organizations lose touch with their customers and stop listening, they become irrelevant quickly,” said Jim Park, chief executive officer of TMC. “That’s why at TMC, our members drive our focus and key initiatives. I’m very excited that our new board will help to continue our tradition of openness and collaboration.”
 
Rich Swerbinsky, chief operating officer of TMC, said: “We strive to create a conference experience for our lender members focused exclusively on our members’ wants and needs. We’re in an industry of constant change, and our members continue to provide us with excellent feedback on what they value out of a conference experience.”
