NMA Director or Associate Director
Pattie L. Boyd  serves on the national board of directors as our representative to NMA…THE Leadership Development Organization.

The role of an NMA Director or Associate Director is not only challenging, but it is a key ingredient to the success of our Association.  He or she has an opportunity to make a substantial contribution to the progress of NMA, to expand personal managerial horizons, and to make lasting personal and professional friends.  How much one gain in personal growth and experience is directly related to the contribution one makes to NMA…The Leadership Development Organization.

There are four words which represent the main responsibilities of an individual who serves on NMA's Board of Directors.  These words are AID, INTERPRET, COOPERATE and LISTEN.

AID...chapter officers in organizing and conducting efficient chapter operations, such as planning valuable programs and placing emphasis on values and services to be gained from NMA.
