Welcome to Kimberlee (Kim) Williams, senior association manager of Membership, who is the newest member of NOMMA’s staff!


She comes to NOMMA with more than 20 years of association experience, working for small- to larger-sized organizations. “I have had the opportunity to learn and work in various roles. I’ll be focused on customer service, membership development and data management. I hope to continue learning and enhancing my skills to assist with the growth, retention and engagement of NOMMA,” says Williams.


She looks forward to meeting and talking with members at METALfab in Oklahoma City Feb. 28-March 3, 2023. In the meantime, she is soaking up as much as possible to learn more about the association's processes and procedures.


“I look forward to sharing ideas for consideration and working with the Membership Committee and NOMMA team in advancing the organization,” she says. “I enjoy new challenges and looking for new ways to engage members and to help NOMMA members in their journey. I look forward to learning more about NOMMA’s data and how we can gather information about our members to assist with personalizing their member experience.”


When she is not working, Williams – based in the Chicago suburb of Lansing, Ill. – loves spending time with family and friends and hosting holiday events. She also enjoys movies, and for vacation, she and her husband enjoy cruises.


Williams appreciates the opportunity to work with NOMMA’s volunteers and the association staff. She looks forward to growing with the association and expanding membership. She can be reached at kim@nomma.org.

Forbes 
The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) reported this fall that 42% of businesses with a decline in profits indicated that it was due to the rise of cost for materials, while 21% believed it was due to weaker sales. Only a scant 3% blamed higher taxes or regulatory costs.

But another NFIB survey from 2021 found that, when asked about their biggest tax concerns, 90% of small businesses said their biggest burden was the federal income tax. This dichotomy could be because many small business owners worry most about taxes only when the filing deadline approaches.
