NMA’s objective...



To utilize our unique chapter-based concept to provide a different kind of leadership development experience

How? 

By demonstrating the value of collaborative talent nurturing…



and providing the “experiential” piece that allows people to grow and feel ownership in their own development.

Based on what? 

People grow when exposed to lessons learned and best practices of colleagues and peers.



People need a professional network to help solve problems, find jobs, and be inspired.



NMA chapters play a key role in helping people feel a sense of community and part of a synergistic group.

And we all know… Businesses grow when employees are innovative and creative. Only happy, challenged, and engaged employees are innovative and creative. NMA Leadership Development Chapters foster the environment that makes it all come together!!!

The NMA connection… 

NMA Chapters help employees become invested…in the chapter…in the community…in the local culture…and in their personal and professional work lives.



When people “feel” opportunities, they can choose to become ENGAGED back at their workplaces– and committed to one another and to the mission.



Engaged employees “give it their all”.

The NMA connection… 

People connect with one another



The community chapter can link ongoing learning to whatever HR initiatives are occurring in various organizations



The community chapter becomes a “force for the common good” in the local area through service to others

Thus…

An NMA chapter is your PARTNER in creating the culture, connections, and conditions that make an employee WANT to contribute!
