Message from the Interim Executive Director |

Dear Colleague,
In the moving words of Francine Rodd, Executive Director of First 5 Monterey County -- and a featured speaker for the NAMC Socio-Economic Impact and Insights Report 2020 – “Here’s to holding each other as we work to heal a nation.”
How are you doing? We hope that you, your teams, and your families are starting to feel a little better as the weather has improved, vaccines are more easily available, and economic recovery is coming into view.
We have been so grateful to be your partner throughout the pandemic as we have co-created forums, training, special reports, bulletins, newsletters – as well as our wonderful awards celebration complete with the Red Carpet Gallery. As we think about the urgent work yet ahead -- and the potential to connect and collaborate more powerfully than ever in 2021-2022 – we ask you to join us for our training on June 10 and to respond to the NAMC survey that will arrive very soon in your inbox!
Please read on for details as we work together share ideas and expand the resources that help us all succeed.

Future Meeting Options –
In Person? Virtual? Hybrid?

As more and more people are fully vaccinated and venues restore their capacity for in-person events, we are now likely to need options to reach more people than we can accommodate in-person at once.
In case you have been thinking about the next steps, NAMC partner Mike Buffo of House of 8 Media has shared an outline of when and how hybrid projects can maximize our reach and impact: Planning Hybrid Events
