NMA chapters. . .

  and externally, in each company and across
  all the business areas

17

  development programs with additional
  cost-effective activities

NMA chapters . . .

  stress brought about by ongoing change

  people survive and grow

20
A continuous learning environment. . .

• Reinforces the concept of lifelong learning and
  gives additional choices for improving oneself

• Allows people to voluntarily assume new
  responsibility for their own growth and
  development

21
For executive management, the chapters provide...

• Opportunities to share their vision with key
  personnel on a regular basis
• Networking opportunities with a broad base of
  employees to maintain the pulse of the community
• A chance to observe people (members and chapter
  leaders) in situations outside their normal
  workplace environment and observe their unique
  skills and talents
• A place where people feel pride in their work

22
And in return for that support...

• Employees feel increasingly valued and
  appreciated
• They see executive leadership walking the
  talk
• Everyone feels part of the same team, whether
  military, civilian, contractor, etc.
• New employees are integrated into the
  organization much more quickly via NMA programs
  and activities
