In Remembrance
Donald Frommeyer
National Mortgage Chair
Donald J. Frommeyer, a practicing mortgage originator, was the longest-serving president of the National Association of Mortgage Brokers. Frommeyer was president of NAMB – the Association of Mortgage Professionals, from 2011 through 2014, when he was named CEO of the organization. He stepped down from that post on Feb. 28, 2017. During his tenure, he took the helm of NAMB, and he made sure it held to the highest ethical standards. He put the organization back on a strong financial foundation. And he did it while making friends with lawmakers, with regulators, with the press and with the mortgage community – all to the better of the profession. Don passed away due to the complications of the COVID-19 virus on December, 14, 2020.
