What does it really take to make sure mortgage brokers have a voice where the biggest industry decisions are being made?

In this episode of The NAMB Podcast, host Ginger Bell welcomes Kimber White, President of the National Association of Mortgage Brokers (NAMB), for a candid conversation about advocacy, leadership, housing affordability, industry relationships, and the future of the mortgage broker community.
