Launched in 1999, the NAMIC employment survey, A Look Toward Advancement: Multi-ethnic Employment in the Communications Industry, provided a baseline of statistics and perceptions about the state of employment in the media, entertainment, and technology industries. This first-of- its-kind industry research led to the creation in 2000 of NAMIC’s Executive Leadership Development Program (ELDP) for high-potential executives.
2024 NAMIC AIM Report
The National Association for Multi-Ethnicity in Communications (NAMIC) proudly announces the 2024 iteration of its Advancement Investment Measurement (AIM) survey, conducted in partnership with The WICT Network.
As part of a broader effort, AIM focuses on measuring industry progress in inclusiveness, while The WICT Network’s PAR Initiative addresses gender equity and work/life integration. The survey was administered by PricewaterhouseCoopers and funded by the NCTA Education Foundation.
For over two decades, NAMIC has been at the forefront of gathering and analyzing workforce demographic data to champion inclusivity in the media, entertainment, and technology industries. AIM’s specific objective is to benchmark progress while spotlighting leading practices to help companies foster inclusive workplaces.
