Outreach

At NMG we understand that we are community members as well as professionals. We believe that our success comes with the responsibility and privilege of serving our communities (including the global community). We are gratified that the company and its employees have given of their time, talents, and resources to a variety of charitable organizations and endeavors, whether it is an employee’s daughter’s cheer squad, a Boy Scout camp, cancer research fund, or disaster relief effort.

Two of NMG’s principals are active supporters of the local academic community: one serving on the steering committee of the University of California, Irvine (UCI) Civil and Environmental Engineering Affiliates and another on the Dean’s Advisory Council at the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, California State University, Fullerton.
