Linda is one of the foremost authorities on CRA. Her knowledge has been honed through decades of practical experience working in banks and through collaboration with CRA professionals throughout the nation. Her perspective and insights on the examination process provides untold value to banks of all sizes.

Linda is an engaging leader and instructor. She is passionate about sharing her knowledge with the CRA community in many levels, from basic program development stage to insightful strategic ideas for developed programs.

Recommendations are a tricky thing because you often read them and ask yourself "who would write a bad review for someone? or, surely, they are just playing it up so this person can get a job or something". Well, I'm about to say something scandalous and I wanted to preface that by saying I 1000% mean what I'm about to say... I haven't met a more determined, persistent, and hardworking founder in the last 10 years who could hold a torch to Linda's missional drive. Seriously... and I meet A LOT of founders in my line of work. Aside from her determination, I've had the pleasure of watching her build a community. Which is incredibly hard to do by the way... truly great communities aren't by accident and take intentionality. Linda does a great job of designing opportunities for members to feel seen, heard, and challenged. Linda is the epitome of the word "guide"... paving the way for community development impact. Finally, I would be remiss not to mention Linda's exceptional speaking ability! Financial regulations may not always be the most exciting of topics but it's often difficult to make these subjects engaging. Linda brings energy and expertise to every stage she occupies. Organizations that hire Linda to speak or consult are truly in for a breath of fresh air.
