Dear NAMIC Supporter:
Last week, representatives from NAMIC's chapters across the country attended the Annual Chapter Leadership Forum. The forum was a day and a half learning experience consisting of leadership development exercises, chapter operations trainings, strategic planning sessions and rich networking opportunities.
It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to run a chapter and we thank our chapter leaders for their continuous support to further NAMIC's mission. If you're interested in getting more involved and volunteering in your chapter,
click here to contact your local chapter officer. Connect today! Attending events is another way to engage with fellow NAMIC members. Check out the calendar listings below for upcoming events.
