Melinda Ailes
I have the good fortune to have worked with Joe directly for several years; first when he was at the New Bedford Economic Development Council, next when he was at Webster Bank and now that he's joined MGCC. Joe is a dedicated, "can-do" business developer, who is always looking for a way to satisfy the needs of his clients. He is responsive, professional and determined. He is also generous with his time and expertise. I highly recommend Joe Lopes, Loan Officer at MGCC.

I have known Mr. Lopes for five years and can attest to his professionalism, his intelligence, his dedication, and his passion. As a professional, he has a strong track record in the financial sector as well as the public sector, with exemplary experience in banking, economic development and public service. Mr. Lopes is a tireless advocate, committed to his community, to smart growth, to education, and to collaborative approaches leading to effective solutions in support of the common good. A superior communicator, Joe connects with people across the entire spectrum -- from neighborhood constituents, to corporate clients, to political leadership. He is engaging and empathetic; he is responsive; he does his "homework;" and he gets things done. With his extensive professional experience and his outstanding academic credentials, Mr. Lopes is an asset to every organization and entity with which he is associated. A natural leader, subordinates, co-workers, and colleagues seek him out to discuss issues and problem solve. Whatever challenge he confronts, he does so with dignity, intellectual acumen, and a postive attitude. I firmly believe that Joseph Lopes will succeed in all endeavors.
