I served on the UTA Board of Directors for two successive terms and was previously an honored recipient of the Phil Adleson Award as well as the New Member of the Year Award. I’ve also served as a member and co-chair of the Legislative Committee where I’ve helped draft legislation, worked closely with UTA lobbyists, and have attended multiple Lobby Days in Sacramento and Olympia. I’ve also been a panelist and moderator at multiple annual conferences and dinner events on legislative and case law updates.

Biography: 

Andrew Boylan is a Partner with McCarthy & Holthus, LLP overseeing Risk Management & Compliance for the firm. After graduating from the University of San Diego, where he earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science and Spanish, he received his Juris Doctorate degree from the University of San Diego School of Law and his MBA from the University of San Diego Graduate School of Business Administration. He has spoken on regulatory and legal compliance issues at numerous mortgage industry events. Andrew has received an AV Preeminent Rating from Martindale-Hubbell® by members of the Bar and Judiciary in both legal ability and ethical standards and is licensed to practice law in the States of California and Washington.

Why I would like to continue to be a member of the Board of Directors and my vision for UTA:

I’m confident that my professional experience working with trustee companies, my unique concentration on legal and regulatory compliance, and my continued attendance and participation at various industry events will enable me to serve as a valuable asset to the board. I’m proficient on the many laws, regulations, and issues that our members encounter. Over the years as a member and co-chair of our Legislative Committee, I’ve had the opportunity to assist in drafting several pieces of beneficial new legislation and have worked to oppose many problematic bills.

In a highly-regulated industry like ours, trade groups play an increasingly important role. The UTA does a great job of providing its members with continuing education, ongoing advocacy efforts, and best practice initiatives. If elected to join the Board again, I will work to build-out these core pillars of our association for the betterment of our members and the industry. I will also continue to work on upping our educational resources and opportunities for members to learn and engage in valuable discussions regarding the implementation and impact of new laws and regulations. Thank you for your consideration and participation in the voting process.
