Dear NAMIC Supporter:
Congratulations to the 2017 NAMIC Leadership Seminar class for completing the three-day program in Los Angeles, CA! The NAMIC Leadership Seminar was created to increase participants' effectiveness at work, to provide them with the important insights and tools for strategic career planning, and to transform high-potential middle managers into effective leaders.
But don't take our word for it...
"The NAMIC Leadership Seminar was one of the experiences that I will treasure for the rest of my career. The program enhanced my awareness of who I am as a person. I feel that I am a better leader because now I understand more about my strengths and weaknesses. I highly recommend this Seminar to anyone that is looking to take the next step in their careers."
