Scheduled dinner meetings allow members to meet and communicate across departments, organizations, and companies. The social atmosphere permits members to renew acquaintances, foster current relationships, and begin new ones. This informal communication channel forms a viable network. On several occasions during a meeting or another NMA-sponsored event, members have resolved work-related problems or shared similar experiences.

Leadership skills are also developed through community service activities. Members can participate by organizing service projects such as food drives, walks-a-thons, and school-theme activities. NMA members have participated in events that provided a solution to a need, thus developing goodwill within the business and community environment examples:
