The National Community Reinvestment Coalition (NCRC) hired three new members to its team: Devin Mack as director of fair and equitable opportunity; Simon “Mac” McNeil as executive director of NCRC Community Development Fund; and Rosemary “Rose” Ramirez as corporate counsel and director of compliance.

Mack will lead a team to enforce and investigate efforts to address historical patterns of discrimination, including fair housing and fair lending law violations. He has experience as an attorney advocate and financial services professional. Prior to joining NCRC, Mack served as a policy advisor on nonbanks, including fintech and credit unions, at the U.S. Treasury in the Office of Financial Institutions Policy.

“I wanted to change the direction of my career for some time, but only wanted to take on a new role where I could not only build on my areas of expertise but have more of a direct impact in the communities that could use those areas of expertise,” Mack said.

McNeil will be NCRC Community Development Fund’s entrepreneurial leader, primary fundraiser and executive manager. He was named as one of the 10 Most Influential Black Corporate Leaders to Watch in 2023 by CIO Views Magazine. McNeil has 19 years of finance and executive leadership experience with large banks such as JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America. Most recently, he was senior vice president of operations for the Community Reinvestment Fund.

“I was drawn to the longevity and national impact that [NCRC] has. The organization is also a well-versed ‘voice’ in policy that impacts communities across the country,” McNeil said.

Ramirez will represent NCRC in all legal matters and ensure the organization’s adherence to legal and regulatory standards while enforcing corporate integrity and ethical practices. In law school, she played a role in securing U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development funding for NCRC’s national media campaign, which focused on educating the public on their fair housing rights. Ramirez also worked to combat discriminatory practices and promote housing opportunities through enforcement of civil rights, fair housing, banking, and consumer protection laws. Her work has advanced the missions of nonprofit organizations on issues related to fair housing, fair lending, and corporate governance.

“NCRC’s mission to create opportunities for all individuals, regardless of their socioeconomic background, truly resonated with me,” Ramirez said. “The organization’s holistic approach, combining policy advocacy, research and community partnerships, presents a unique and powerful platform to drive meaningful change.”
