GLENDALE, Calif. – Newly launched California Members Title Insurance Company, which serves credit unions and other lenders throughout California, has named two key executives to its staff.
Linda Blood has joined the company – a CUSO owned by California Credit Union – as Chief Operating Officer and Mary MacGregor as Senior Vice President of Escrow Operations.
Both Blood and MacGregor have extensive experience in the title insurance industry. Blood, who now leads the entire title operations at California Members Title Insurance, has four decades of experience, including co-founding American Coast Title in 1988 and operating it for 25 years.
MacGregor has 30 years of escrow experience, and spent several of those years working with Blood at American Coast Title.

Berriz, who himself has more than 40 years of industry experience, worked with both Blood and MacGregor in the past. He was the other co-founder, with Blood, at American Coast Title.
"Our mission is to provide superior service and the ultimate in customer satisfaction to our client credit unions, and Linda Blood and Mary MacGregor give us the expertise we need to accomplish that as we provide superior settlement services," Berriz said.
