NAMMBA Founder On Fostering Inclusivity

Gated Communities

Finally, Gated Communities proudly welcomes one of the most respected figures in the mortgage industry, the man who brought DEI to the forefront, and runs the largest minority-focused mortgage association in the United States: Tony Thompson, founder and CEO of NAMMBA, also known as the National Association of Minority Mortgage Bankers of America. Thompson shares his story, the origins of NAMMBA, and why inclusion is the key ingredient for companies to achieve more profitability with diversity. Why do some companies see increased profits when diversifying the c-suite while others don’t? Inclusion, Thompson said; they’re not bringing the I in DEI.
