Kimber White named NAMB board president

The National Association of Mortgage Brokers (NAMB) announced on Wednesday the start of Kimber White’s presidency for the organization. White has served in several roles with NAMB over the past 15 years, including as board president from 2020–2021 and as a member of the executive board.

“I am honored to lead NAMB’s continued efforts to elevate the professional landscape for everyone working in our vital and dynamic industry,” said White. “For over 51 years, NAMB has been the voice of the mortgage marketplace. I take this responsibility seriously and look forward to working alongside our members, industry partners, lawmakers, and stakeholders to ensure that NAMB remains a powerful force for good for the next 50 years.”

White also expressed gratitude to outgoing president Jim Nabors for his leadership during the 2024–2025 term.

“I want to extend my sincere thanks to Jim Nabors, NAMB’s immediate past president, for his tireless commitment to the organization,” White continued. “Under his leadership, NAMB achieved several key milestones, including our advocacy and support for the passage of the Homebuyers Privacy Protection Act, a landmark piece of legislation signed into law by the President of the United States in September 2025.”

White’s agenda includes plans to advance NAMB’s advocacy and professional development work, with priorities including loan officer compensation reform, flood insurance improvements, employment classification clarity, expanded affordable housing access, lower credit report costs, refinancing flexibility, VA loan program modernization, mentorship for young professionals and expansion of training, certification and membership.

In a conversation last month with HousingWire, White shared that he planned to kick off a mentoring program called Elevate as soon as he took the presidency.

“Our industry needs education, whether you’re an experienced loan officer or a new loan officer coming into the business,” he said.
