It's all about the networking

December 18, 2019

NCMPR has been a valuable resource in my marketing toolbox. The information I’ve gained at the national and district conferences has given me fresh ideas and perspectives that I’ve implemented at my own college. The webinars are an effective way to gain professional development, as well.

But one of the outstanding benefits of my membership with NCMPR is the networking opportunity it provides. I’ve met many professionals through conferences and by reaching out through the membership directory with specific questions or needs. Just “talking shop” with these professionals has helped me grow in my career.

I am currently serving with other marketing professionals on NCMPR's Professional Resources Committee, so hopefully I can help enhance the membership opportunities and benefits for my marketing colleagues.
