About the National Management
Association
The National Management Association (NMA) is a professional
leadership development association headquartered in Dayton, Ohio.
The Association is a national, not-for-profit organization serving
over 25,000 customers nationwide. Members belong to company-based,
in-house chapters, or are members of community chapters. An Individual
Membership Program is also available.
NMA's founder, Charles Kettering became a pioneer
in human resource development when he introduced the idea of professional
development for first line supervisors in Dayton in 1919. That idea
was so significant that it rapidly spread across the nation, and
the National Association of Foremen was formed in 1925. In the late
'50s, the Association adopted a broader mission to include all levels
of management. In today's team environment, we have many chapters
that operate as employee organizations open to all employees and
others that operate as community organizations open to all professionals
within the local community. Consequently, the professional development
of individuals, central to the founding of NMA, can now reach all
levels of the organization!
Through the chapter-based experience, NMA provides
management and leadership development opportunities to help sponsoring
organizations discover, develop, and showcase leadership talent.
NMA's customers span the entire United States. Most
are from over 120 affiliated chapters representing nearly 1,000
organizations and include healthcare, utilities, manufacturing,
communications, government, aerospace, and defense.
