Leading Beyond the Walls
In keeping with our mission to educate, empower, and advocate for multi-ethnicity within the communications industry, NAMIC is launching Member Groups. This new initiative will amplify members voices within our diverse organization and the community.
Member groups offer an opportunity to define, recognize and support our members with shared professional interests. Member groups differ from NAMIC chapters in that they are formed by members’ shared professional interests versus geographic location.

5 Ways You Can Benefit

Networking
Sharing Ideas
Resource
Unlike geographic chapters, member groups are created around shared interests, knowledge or expertise.
But like chapters they require leadership and clear objectives to remain relevant and beneficial to members.
Member groups will offer additional benefits for NAMIC members, such a access to subject-specific information and resources, educational opportunities, networking with like-minded peers, and increased volunteer leadership opportunities.
It provides a national network of peers, and is particularly helpful for sharing ideas from others with similar interests or challenges.
Member groups will serve as a resource to NAMIC by carrying out activities and programs designed to address the specific needs of the industry in respective disciplines.
