Dear NAMIC Supporter,
"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."
