Why join NAMIC?
"I highly encourage senior-level executives to participate in this program as mentors. It is very rewarding to work with someone who is at a turning point in their career. It’s such a small investment of time for such a great payback. There is much to learn from a mentoring relationship, no matter what level you are in your career."

"The ELDP truly is the benchmark against which all other leadership development programs should be measured. I’ve attended other such courses, but the ELDP had by far the most profound effect on my career and my life. I feel as though I’ve emerged from this program a different man: not only am I a stronger leader, I’m a better husband, father and friend. The ELDP is more than a leadership development course – it’s an investment that will pay dividends for the rest of your life."

“NAMIC ELDP literally and figuratively changed my career course in a very positive direction. From one of the class sessions during a self-examination exercise for optimizations and alignment of one’s personal strengths and goals, with the right career track, I decided that international business was a direction I needed to head. The ELDP program also forces you to follow through with newly stated goals. So by the end of the program, I found myself in a new division of my company. The NAMIC ELDP program is key learning experience for any multi-ethnic executive looking for career progression and career satisfaction tools.”
