National Symposium  ~  May 4th - 6th, 2026

The Naval Civilian Managers Association (NCMA) is a management organization of senior civilians in naval activities dedicated to the principle that the interests of this country can best be served by a strong Navy. We believe the strength of our Navy depends largely on the competence and attitude of its civilian leaders, along with good working relationships between them and military officials. The NCMA has chapters located at US Navy Installations across the entire country.
