Strong community ties – driving growth for the NMA and it’s member businesses “I shall pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.”– Mahatma Gandhi The Neighborhood Market Association was created to represent the independent businesses and to look after their interest in these tough times. The NMA has been gradually becoming more recognized and trusted by many people. Today we are a well known association which represents over 21,000 employees, and grown to 2,000 businesses in three different states; California, Nevada and Arizona. Our businesses interact with our communities and they are fully committed to the economical needs of our neighborhoods. The NMA is constantly working to be a vital participant in most of our community activities. Our retailers and suppliers are aware and sensitive to our customers’ needs, and will do what ever it takes to build a good and healthy relationship. We have a great working relationship with law enforcement and the Alcoholic Beverage Control, which has benefited our neighborhoods and has improved the safety of our businesses. I’d like to commend every one for their hard work and great efforts. We are sharing our knowledge and expertise with our suppliers to increase sales and become more efficient. Our goal is to succeed in our businesses , and to make sure that we will stay in business . The world depends on us, we must continue to excel and to work wisely. Let us all be one unit and one family to better mankind and to avoid failures. We must keep an open mind and be more active in our communities in order to build up the trust that is required to insure the success of our businesses. Finally I am very optimistic about our future, and I feel that we will continue to grow and thrive and become more recognizable within our communities. God bless you all.
