The Nations Lending Sales Field Advisory Board met up in Chicago for our Q2 brainstorming session. EVP Operations Cindy Baird, VP National Sales Justin Sopko, SVP Western Divisional Manager Mike Towery, SVP Eastern Divisional Manager Tim Dowling, and VP of Product Development Lloyd Rutherford revved-up the energy with Branch Managers, market leaders, and top-producers Dale Kennedy, Tammy Kennedy, Sheryl Osborn, Stacey Gross, Christine McConnell, Jeff LaMonte, Lane Sharpe, Justin Hominsky, Nick Wurzer, and Todd Kolek.

It was a windy city-worthy, a highly productive dialogue to harvest new ideas to help grow our footprint and further serve our communities across the USA.

It’s 10-straight years and 12 times overall for Nations Lending being honored as a Top Workplace in Northeast Ohio! The 2024 recognition is sponsored by the Cleveland Plain Dealer and https://bit.ly/3prd9ry.

“No matter what your job or responsibilities are as a Nations employee – all of you continue to step-up big time and overcome adversity to help us continue to best serve our borrowers in every community – no matter what the challenges and circumstances in our industry. While our footprint in the mortgage space spans the entire country, our roots will forever be planted in the Cleveland area, making this recognition even more special. You are the reason the Nations family continues to grow stronger. Jeremy (Sopko, CEO) and I are appreciative of all you do.” – President Bill Osborne.
