Dear NAMIC Diversity Digest Readers,
"This was an enlightening and dynamic course. It not only developed my thought of company goals as it relates to driving financial goals, but also diversity of culture and thought to drive those goals as well! In addition, I was fortunate to meet individuals who will lead our industry into the next decade and beyond! Highly recommended!"
- Michael HoShue, Sales Manager - Mid-Market, Cox Business. NAMIC Leadership Seminar, Los Angeles, 2017
