I
t is with mixed emotions that we have two staffing announcements. While we are happy for him, it saddens us to announce the retirement of Michigan Certified Development Corporation Vice President – Operations, Dave Kramer effective May 31, 2022.
Dave joined the MCDC in 1998 as a Portfolio Manager when it was still part of state government. When the decision was made to exit the state in 2002, Dave served as a Senior Loan Officer for what would ultimately become the state’s largest CDC and the premier SBA lending partner. At one time or another over the last 24 years, Dave has served the organization in nearly every functional capacity. He has been a key contributor to the growth MCDC has experienced, from a 2.25 person operation originating a couple of dozen loans each year to 24 employees generating over 100 loans annually and more than $1 Billion of SBA 504 financing and $3 Billion of total economic investment throughout Michigan during Dave’s tenure.
The Board and staff of the MCDC ask you to join us in wishing Dave all the best as he embarks on the next phase of his life. We know Dave will enjoy spending more time with his wife Mary, his children and grandchildren, and working on his golf game.
Thank you, Dave, for everything you have done in service to Michigan’s small businesses over the years.
As sorry as we are to see Dave retire, we are equally pleased to announce the promotion of Marnie Spitzley to Vice President – Operations. This well-deserved promotion is a result of Marnie’s hard work and dedication to serving MCDC’s dual constituencies of borrowers and lenders. We look forward to the continued positive impact Marnie brings to her new role.
Marnie graduated with honors from Aquinas College in 2010, joining MCDC as an intern in 2011. From the beginning, Marnie displayed a superior work ethic, competitive spirit, and attention to detail that resulted in her ascendence to the Lead Underwriter role. She is dedicated to helping Michigan’s small businesses with a commitment to outstanding customer service and is a great example for the MCDC team and lending community alike. Marnie continues to play an integral part in growing MCDC into a top 20 CDC in the country and the consistent leader in 504 loan production in Michigan. Please join us in congratulating Marnie on this richly deserved promotion.
With seven offices throughout Michigan, MCDC’s experienced team will work with you through every step of your SBA Loan. MCDC is a non-profit corporation certified by the U.S. Small Business Administration to provide SBA 504 Loan Financing and 7(a) Lender Services.
