Mortgage broker exec to serve as NAMB executive director
NAMB has named Valerie Saunders as its executive director.

Saunders has been with NAMB for more than 15 years both as a member and a board member. She previously served as vice president of the organization. In addition to her executive director role, Saunders is the vice president of RE Financial Services, a mortgage brokerage based in Florida.

“NAMB has experienced a great resurgence over the past several years, and our goal is to build upon that momentum and continue to grow our member base,” Saunders said. “A lot of originators and mortgage businesses don’t realize how much NAMB membership can protect their interests and increase opportunities for them. We have aggressive goals for educating our target members and growing the number of people who benefit from NAMB’s offerings.”

As executive director, Saunders will direct the day-to-day operations of the organization. She will also collaborate with the NAMB board to develop strategies and processes to implement them.

“Valerie has a proven track record of creating programs that benefit members and homeowners, as well as NAMB,” NAMB President Fred Kreger said. “We’re looking forward to further leveraging her knowledge, creativity, and vision in growing our member base and NAMB’s influence in the coming year.”
