What our Solution Partners say about NARA:
I had the personal pleasure and professional privilege of presenting a leadership program at the annual NARA conference. My experiences, both at and after the conference, were simply extra-ordinary! Here are a few of the many highlights:
Individual members generously ordered dozens of copies of my book, Own It! – both during and after the conference.
During my keynote presentation, NARA members were on of the most engaged audiences with which I've worked. Everyone came motivated to learn and get as much value as possible from the program. Members were open minded, smart, collaborative, participative, energetic and fun! It was every speaker's ideal engagement. They brought out the best in me and we co-created a memorable experience together.
Following the conclusion of the conference, five member organizations scheduled five additional speaking engagements with my leadership coaching firm, Vantage International, making this a financially rewarding opportunity as well.
In 2020, as we all navigated the global pandemic, I once again partnered with NARA to deliver virtual leadership programs.
Throughout all my interactions with the NARA team, I have felt respected, valued and appreciated as a partner, rather than just another vender. I am an unswerving fan of this organization and its members. They are doing amazing work across our country! If you are offered the opportunity to work with them, I encourage you to take it! I can guarantee that you will find it richly rewarding as well.
Leta Beam
President, Vantage International
