NOENMCC is dedicated to cultivating a culture of collaboration and professional growth. Through initiatives like iCollab, an internal think tank designed to encourage innovation and idea-sharing, the organization continues to invest in its employees’ development and workplace satisfaction, having committed more than $12 million in education and training programs.
Convention Center employees receive a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental and vision coverage; short-term disability; critical illness; whole and term life insurance; and a retirement plan. Additional employer-paid benefits include free parking, paid time off, paid holidays, group term life and AD&D insurance, long-term disability and long-term care coverage.
