"NYAMB Announces the Bonnie S. Nachamie Memorial Scholarship"
A Letter from our Scholarship Co-Chairs

She educated thousands of mortgage industry professionals and was an inspiration to all. Sydney J. Harris, an American Journalist, once said, "The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows", and Bonnie Nachamie did just that. 

Bonnie has helped so many organizations and individuals successfully navigate the ever-changing regulatory environment and saw every challenge as an opportunity. In addition to her involvement with the NYAMB, Bonnie held many voluntary positions with other mortgage industry trade associations including the Empire State Mortgage Bankers Association (ESMBA) and the Mortgage Bankers of New York (MBAofNY). She was exceptional in every way, and we are extremely grateful for her hard work, dedication, and most of all, her friendship. She was a friend to so many in our industry and certainly had a knack for holding everyone’s attention.  The naming of a scholarship in her honor will be a permanent reminder of her unwavering commitment to our industry and will carry her legacy forward to future generations.  

We are now accepting Donations & Applications for the 20022/2023 Academic Year.

Thank you in advance for all your support and on behalf of the entire committee and everyone here at the NYAMB we wish you and your families a safe and happy Holiday Season!

Best regards,
