The Monday, June 8 installment of Mortgage Leadership Outlook will feature Tony Thompson, CMB, founder and CEO of the National Association of Minority Mortgage Bankers of America (NAMMBA). Thompson and series host Andrew Berman—head of engagement and outreach for National Mortgage Professional magazine—will discuss some of the pressing topics in the industry regarding COVID-19, minority representation in the industry and more.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to pose challenges for the mortgage industry, the Mortgage Leadership Outlook series helps you, the mortgage professional, navigate through these times of uncertainty. That's why we want you to be a part of the conversation between Thompson and Berman too! Tune in to the NMP Facebook page and post your questions in the comments section.

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. The mission of the association is to increase the engagement of women and minorities in the mortgage industry by actively being involved with local, state and national Mortgage Banker Associations.

In an edition of NMP's Getting To Know, the publication sat down with Thompson who said he just happened to fall into the mortgage industry. He was originally working in the human resources industry, but then became a loan originator for Bank of America and worked his way up to regional manager. Thompson currently works as the VP for growth and strategy at Silverton Mortgage Specialist Inc. and held previous positions with Guaranteed Rate and PNC Mortgage.

Join Thompson and Berman, as they answer your questions live, and discuss important topics in the industry at 4:00 p.m. ET/1:00 p.m. PT today via NMP's Facebook page.

Previous guests in the Mortgage Leadership Outlook series include Mat Ishbia, Carl Markman, David H. Stevens, David Luna, Barry Habib‍, Rob Chrisman and more. See all the interviews from the Mortgage Leadership Outlook series on its YouTube channel.
