Megan Booth has been promoted to vice president of commercial/multifamily policy at the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA).
Booth joined the MBA in 2022 as associate vice president of commercial/multifamily policy. In that role, she has helped lead the MBA’s commercial and multifamily policy activities, including policy and advocacy formulation and strategy, member engagement, representation before federal housing and financial regulators, and partnerships with fellow trade associations and other groups within the industry.
In her previous role at MBA, she was instrumental in securing numerous advocacy wins on multifamily housing issues and wrote comment letters, congressional testimony, and other communications while increasing member engagement and attendance at MBA conferences.
Prior to joining MBA, Booth served as senior vice president of policy at the Manufactured Housing Institute. Before that, she held ascending roles at the National Association of Realtors (NAR) for nearly 24 years, where she worked on federal housing and commercial, multifamily, and property management issues.
Booth also has previous experience in construction management and maritime policy and as a legislative aide on Capitol Hill.
In her new role, Booth will manage the development and execution of MBA members’ policy objectives and goals and will serve as a staff lead on federal and state regulatory issues pertaining to commercial real estate finance.
“Megan is a recognized policy expert who consistently delivers for MBA and its members,” says Jamie Woodwell, senior vice president of commercial/multifamily and strategic industry engagement for the MBA, in a statement. “Building on her 28-year career in commercial real estate policy development and advocacy, Megan has established MBA as the leading voice on a range of important regulatory issues, and our members will continue to benefit greatly from her extensive policy knowledge and innate ability to advocate successfully on their behalf.”
