Dallas Mortgage Bankers Association

What Dallas Mortgage Bankers Association does

The Dallas Mortgage Bankers Association (DMBA) is a private nonprofit professional trade association founded in 1940 and headquartered in the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex, operating as a local chapter of the Texas Mortgage Bankers Association (TMBA). It serves mortgage lenders, brokers, title companies, mortgage insurance providers, warehouse lenders, and attorneys through three primary offerings: individual membership at $80/year, monthly in-person luncheons and panel events (e.g., Appraisal Panels, Annual Holiday Party at Maggiano's in Plano), and a tiered corporate sponsorship program (Gold and Silver). The association generates revenue from membership dues, event registration fees, and sponsorship, distributed via the Brushfire events platform and Constant Contact email. There is no proprietary technology product; the organization is a community-led membership entity rather than a software or platform business, with value delivered through peer networking, industry education, and state-level legislative and regulatory advocacy routed through its TMBA affiliation. Governance is provided by an elected volunteer board of directors, with Brandi Chambers serving as President and Steven Kubik as Past President (Legal & Compliance) as of 2025. The association's strategic positioning rests on its 78+ year operating history, formalized bylaws, and institutional relationship with TMBA, which supplies political presence in the Texas legislature and regulatory representation before agencies such as the Texas Department of Savings and Mortgage Lending.
