NetIP Makes Great Strides in 2012

NETIp

Atlanta, Jan 2013: The Network of Indian Professionals (NetIP) Atlanta made great strides in 2012 giving them the BOSCARS 2012 Most Improved Chapter of the Year. In addition, the VP of Communications and Logistics, Archith Seshadri, was awarded the BOSCAR Officer of the Year. NetIP Atlanta held several events this year fulfilling the four pillars of NetIP- professional development, cultural awareness, political awareness and community service.

NETIP

The events included a tax seminar, Holi, Independence Day and Diwali celebrations, a Presidential Debate viewing party and community service at  St. Baldrick’s, Global SOAP Project, MedShare, Drake’s House etc.

NETIP’s monthly networking events at top restaurants included themes this year such as the Get Green, Get Lucky March Social for St. Patrick’s Day, Red Carpet Affair for February social, Fall Football Social and the Member Appreciation social. These created a networking environment that was not only professional but also fun and helped members get to know each other. More than that, for the first time in NetIP Atlanta's history, a Charity is Colorblind initiative "Protect our Children: Protect our Future" was held.

The beneficiary of the NetIP Atlanta 2012 Charity is Colorblind initiative was selected as Baal Dan. Baal Dan is a US based non-profit organization dedicated to providing support children in need in India. Beside food, clothing, and education, they also help build schools, sanitation facilities, and more. The Baal Dan Launch Party held at the Artmore Hotel raised over $500 to kick-off the year’s efforts. Monthly networking events helped enhance exposure of Baal Dan to NetIP Atlanta community. The year concluded on a high note with over $800 raised at the Annual Gala via a matching rally and raffle prize drawings. Overall, NetIP Atlanta raised over $3,500 through socials, fundraising tactics and the support of its members and community.

On a visibility standpoint, NetIP Atlanta had over 30 members attend the 21st NetIP NA Conference in Chicago, IL. Several of the board members volunteered their time with the planning process for the conference by finding speakers for the professional development panels. NetIP Atlanta gained greater visibility on social media by adding a Facebook page in addition to its existing Facebook group. The website got a new interface allowing a cleaner and more polished view with interesting blogs. Additionally, Twitter was used as well to maximize NetIP Atlanta's social media presence.

Overall, NetIP Atlanta gained a greater visibility on not only the Atlanta map but also the NetIP NA map in 2012 and held successful and powerful events throughout the year for their members. We look forward to seeing what they have in store for 2013.
