President’s Letter

BY ERNEST JONES, JR.

2022 was a great year for NAMB as it worked tirelessly to advocate for the marketplace while providing tips, tools and thought leadership through public media. We worked with The New York Times, Time Magazine, HousingWire, Inside Mortgage Finance and dozens of media outlets in both the print & broadcast space. Our team’s mission is to state NAMB’s position within legislative items along with news that impacts both the LO and the consumer.

Since November, our executive board has worked to explain complex consumer & endemic issues with Fortune Magazine, The New York Times and digital outlets such as NerdWallet. NAMB enjoys building rapport with reporters to ensure we’re never one-and-done with our commentary, but are invited back for multiple articles, as evidenced by our work with media partners CNET and US News and World Report, along with our industry colleagues at HousingWire, Scotsman Guide and National Mortgage News

In addition to both proactive and reactive media placements, the team developed 30-plus press releases in 2022. Most recently, we have announced partnerships, our roadshow kick-off with Freddie Mac & Rocket Mortgage, as well as renewed & new industry partners such as Floify and Black Knight.

Our mandate is to be the voice of the marketplace and we will push harder & wider in 2023 to serve our members, consumers & the industry overall. Our team of experts is second to none. The public deserves insights that are impartial and accurate. That is our mission. NC
