The NMA connection…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…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…Thus…

An NMA chapter is your PARTNER in

creating the culture, connections,

and conditions that make an

employee WANT to contribute!
