=== From Feedback to Action: Using Your Input to Drive Change ===
As we celebrate 25 years of meaningful growth at the NMC, we’re excited to share our '''refreshed''' '''mission''', '''strategic objectives''' and '''updated governance'''. The NMC is evolving to better support you through collaboration, communication, and high-quality resources. A big thank you to our Advisory Boards members for their guidance and input throughout this process.
+
Thank you to the '''573 managers''' who responded to our May poll! We asked:
 +
 
 +
a) ''On a scale of 1 to 5, how effectively does your work environment support your ability to lead and manage your team?''
 +
 
 +
b) ''What specific changes would improve your effectiveness as a manager, supervisor, or team lead?''

'''What’s next?'''
   −
As we continue to evolve, we want to make sure we’re meeting your real needs as a manager. That’s why we’d love to hear from you:
+
The NMC will continue to share your insights with senior leaders, concern groups, and relevant programs. Each month, we’ll ask one or two short questions to better understand your reality as a manager. Your responses are anonymous and help shape programming, tools, and helps guide national conversations with our advisory boards, committees and partners that reflect what matters most for managers.
