The MBA Opens Doors Foundation has announced the addition of two new members to its board of directors, Christine Chandler and Jeffrey Taylor. Both arrivals are expected to bolster the foundation’s efforts in providing mortgage and rental assistance, enabling parents to focus on their child’s care without the stress of housing instability.
Chandler is currently an executive at M&T Realty Capital Corporation who is poised to become the MBA’s vice chair in 2024, while Taylor is the pioneering founder of Mphasis Digital Risk. They are the latest to join the foundation’s leadership team.
“Chris and Jeff bring a dynamic combination of skills and passion to our Board. Their extensive backgrounds in commercial markets, risk management, and technology are assets that will undoubtedly advance our mission,” MBA Opens Doors Foundation chairman Debra Still said.

Chandler brings over three decades of experience in commercial real estate finance to the table. Since 2018, she has played a crucial role in credit decisions at M&T RCC, covering a broad spectrum of transactions. Her commitment to diversity and women’s empowerment in real estate finance is evident through her advocacy for mPower, the industry’s largest networking organization for women.
Taylor, meanwhile, has been at the forefront of mortgage risk and compliance solutions since founding Mphasis Digital Risk in 2005.
The Opens Doors Foundation has made a significant impact since its inception in 2011, offering vital assistance to over 16,000 families across the United States, including the District of Columbia and Guam.
