Dear NAMIC Supporter:
"I feel fortunate for having been able to participate in the NAMIC ELDP program. Through the various classes I was able to gain exposure to parts of the media industry I don't get to interact with often. Other classes and assignments allowed self-reflection and offered tools to help me grow both as a professional and individual. The bonus is you also meet great leaders within the industry that you build close friendships with."
Gil Torres
VP, Legal and Business Affairs
A+E Networks
ELDP Class XVI
