Community Development Loan Blueprint
On-Demand Training Workshop
5 Foundational Steps to Building an Outstanding
Community Development Loan Portfolio
Linda Ezuka, Founder, CRA Today
I appreciate your training sessions and workshops. In contemplating signing up for follow up training -I had considered paying for it myself -if my Bank wouldn’t. Your sessions have given me more confidence and I look forward to future workshops. The fact of the matter is, there is not much for CRA Officers out there in the way of training. You have filled a long overdue hold in the CRA sector/industry.
Are you making the all-too-common mistake of leaving community development loans on the table, and underreporting the important work your bank is doing?
“Reviewing community development loans is Linda’s superpower! She is the first person I reach out to when I need a second opinion or when I get stuck on CD loan qualifications.”
– Sarah Pearson, Vice President, CRA Officer
First Bank
Community development loans (CDLs) are widely recognized as the most complex part and subjective component of the CRA.
The community development loan on-demand training is for you if:
- You want to stop underreporting and maximize the reporting of your community development loan portfolio.
- You want to learn the tried and true methods to efficiently identify more loans to add to your community development loan portfolio.
- Your bank relies on expensive consultants to mine for community development loans because you don’t have the time nor expertise to review credit approval memorandums.
- You’ve never been trained on how to identify community development loans efficiently, correctly and confidently.
- You know you’d benefit from learning what types of loans are often overlooked for CDL consideration.
