Why should a company have an NMA chapter?
 |
Practical Leadership Development for Employees |
Members are able to develop and enhance leadership and other professional development skills in the risk-free setting of NMA chapter activities. These skills, once mastered in an NMA setting, are easily transferable to the organization.
|
Opportunity for Direct Dialogue with All Employees |
Monthly meetings provide vital two-way communication between members and upper management. Executives have a natural forum for sharing their vision. These meetings emphasize the organization’s high regard for its people and reinforce principles of ethical conduct and personal responsibility.
|
Cross-Organizational Teaming and Problem Solving |
By accepting a wide range of employees, NMA chapters informally facilitate diversity and cross-organization initiatives. In the chapter setting, members come together and find themselves addressing overall organizational or community issues. Employees develop an understanding of the entire company or community and discover organization-specific solutions through meeting regularly at NMA activities.
|
Mentoring and Empowering |
NMA members experience the exhilaration of empowerment and the nurturing of a supportive mentor when they are active as an officer or committee member. The structured processes in these positions prepare NMA members to transfer the management skills gained back to their sponsoring organization(s). All positions encourage members to be creative problem solvers and decision makers.
|
Cost-Effective Training |
NMA chapters augment company training in the areas of leadership, management, continuous improvement, team building, computer technology, and other areas directly related to today’s business needs — at a cost substantially lower than most organizations can provide in-house. NMA also provides members with personal development opportunities.

Active, Responsible Citizenship |
