july 8, 2020 MOnthly Business meeting

National Association of Minority Mortgage Bankers (NAMMBA)

Among the nation’s trade associations focused on the real estate finance world,

the National Association of Minority Mortgage Bankers (NAMMBA) stands out for

having the primary goal of creating and maintaining a profession that resembles the

customer base in the marketplace.

“NAMMBA is a purpose-driven organization that is dedicated to the inclusion of

minorities and women in the mortgage industry who are advocates for sustainable

homeownership in local communities,” says the organization in its mission statement.

The driving force behind NAMMBA is Tony Thompson, CMB, a longtime mortgage

industry executive who launched this organization in 2016. In the past three years,

NAMMBA has seen its visibility enhanced as the industry seeks to diversify its

employee base–an especially crucial consideration when one realizes that the average

age of a loan originator is 54 and there is no great new wave of young talent coming

in to carry on the work when today’s originators become tomorrow’s retirees.

You are invited to a Zoom meeting.

When: July 8, 2020 12:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)

message from president michael hoard

As the leader of the only Black Real Estate Professional organization in Charlotte, I condemn the murderous acts of police officers in Minnesota.

Our people have suffered injustice in this country for years and the unjust treatment of our people has a deep history. I applaud protests through the country but reject any attempts to destroy the property of innocent folks and violence. Peaceful protests have resulted in many gains during the civil rights era and was the key to Martin Luther King’s success.

As a problem solver, I posit this:

1. Community policing should be a reality. Police officers should patrol areas where they are known and they know the citizens in their districts.

2. All police departments must have independent investigation arms for allegations of all police misconduct.

3. All cases of criminal conduct by police officers should be handled by special prosecutors from foreign prosecutorial districts. For all intents and purposes, Prosecutors and police officers are colleagues. Police officers and prosecutors work closely on all cases in a symbiotic relationship. There is certainly a conflict of interest when officers are the subject of a prosecution.

3. Racial sensitivity tests, training on black history, and background investigations, which would include past incidents of racial bias must be standard across the country.

4. A wholistic approach to resolving the gap in racial equality in housing, education, income, wealth and justice must begin.

I am disheartened by the death of Mr. Floyd and my prayers go out to his family, but this is nothing new. Our people are tired and change must occur.
