Gov. John Baldacci recently appointed two new members to the Finance Authority of Maine board of directors.

Kevin Mattson of Winthrop is the president of Harper’s Development LLC. Mattson has replaced Joy Bishop Blood from Cape Elizabeth, who served on the board for seven years, recently as chair.

Mattson’s expertise in real estate development will be a welcomed addition to the FAME board, Baldacci said.

The other new member, Glenn Lamarr of Fort Kent, is vice president of commercial lending at TD Banknorth, N.A.

Lamarr has replaced Reynold Raymond of Eagle Lake, who served on the FAME board for four years. Lamarr’s experience as a commercial lender will be beneficial in guaranteeing commercial loans for businesses in Maine, the governor said.

According to John Witherspoon, FAME CEO, “The FAME board and staff look forward to working with both Kevin and Glenn. The mission of the Finance Authority of Maine is to provide innovative financial solutions to help Maine citizens pursue business and educational opportunities.”
