NPAworldwide

We're nearing the end of a remarkable chapter at @NPAworldwide as our longtime engagement specialist and people-connector Marcia Bateman- Green is retiring next week after nearly 37 years. Marcia's career began in 1989 in the NPA Print Shop - an actual printing facility with offset presses where she oversaw the creation and twice-weekly mailing of customized packs of resumes and job orders that were sent to members as part of our "Central Distribution." Over time, the paper files became digital, first on floppy disks and then eventually online. Marcia was instrumental in helping our "paper pack" fans transition to the newfangled electronic documents. She's literally seen and reviewed more candidate resumes and job orders than anyone else on our team (possibly combined) -- and honestly, more than a fair number of recruiters as well. That led to her deep familiarity of "who does what" in our network - and so many phone calls like, "Hey, I just saw this job and I know you have candidates like that, why don't you give them a call...." For many members, she is their first connection in the network and one that lasts years, if not decades, beyond their initial onboarding. If you've worked with Marcia over the years, please drop her a note on her Kudoboard: https://lnkd.in/gyKd9hRD ... we're all soaking up our final few days as we congratulate her on a job well done. We hope you and Kevin fully enjoy this next chapter! On behalf of the entire membership, we'll miss you beyond words.

We are proud to announce the first-ever recipient of our new Regional Leadership Award in Asia: Achyut Menon "AK" of Options Executive Search Private Limited. This award was created to recognize members who go above and beyond to foster collaboration and embody the spirit of our global network. AK exemplifies these values through his thought leadership, positivity, and unwavering support for fellow recruiters. His efforts to expand NPAworldwide’s presence in India and his commitment to new members have been instrumental in building a stronger, more connected community. In his own words, AK captured the heart of what makes our network special: “None of us really succeeds alone. What makes this community special is the way we share, collaborate, and pick each other up. Awards are nice, but the real prize is the friendship we build, the trust we earn, and the knowledge we can pass on.” His message is a powerful reminder that our greatest strength lies in our willingness to support one another. Success is something we build together, one conversation at a time. Please join us in congratulating AK Menon on this well-deserved honor. His leadership is an inspiration to our entire network.
