Speakers Bureau Formation

Our community outreach throughout the United States would benefit from a centralized list of approved members that would be able to speak on behalf of NAMC. An approved member might be asked to speak at a community event, civic group luncheon, seminar or even to selected media.

If you feel that you might be able to contribute to this new initiative, send a copy of your resume and a picture to hartnamc@verizon.net. Contact Ty Hart for more information about this program.

Leadership Spotlight

The members of the National Board of Directors donate a significant amount of their time in order to help NAMC succeed. Over the coming months, the NAMC Toolbox will showcase one member in each issue in order to recognize their contribution to the organization. Our National Board of Directors is fortunate to include some of the most successful minority business leaders in the nation and we want our readership to learn more about the high caliber of leadership working to move the organization forward. In the next two issues, we will spotlight, Felicia Miller-Watson of Gonzalez Saggio & Harlan LLP and Kathy Meyers of Meyer Contracting.

Corporate Partners Recognition

NAMC Corporate Partners provide the key ingredient towards the construction of the future of NAMC. Aside from financial support, our corporate partners provide guidance and help direct members to contracts. You can never have too many corporate partners and you can never say “thank you” too often to a corporate partner. In subsequent issues we will showcase one or two corporate partners in an effort to demonstrate NAMC’s appreciation for their loyal support. If you have a specific corporate partner that you would like to showcase soon, contact Gene Gutierrez at gene@graphicumbrella.com or call him at (305) 373-1919.
