Our Programs Activities that make a difference Our programming reflects the diverse needs of our members and takes the time to incorporate their thoughts, ideas and insights. Each year NetIP-NY launches the programming year with a welcome brunch, which encourages members to join volunteer committees and provide input on topics of interest to THEM in the areas of professional development, entrepreneurship, and leadership. We are a member-focused organization committed to achieving an ongoing dialogue with our members so that we can truly meet their needs. Our 2005 Programming Year will include the following: BC (Business Card) Thursdays Held on the second Thursday of each month, our Business Card Thursday event is open to members and non-members alike. Each BC Thursday event provides an opportunity for targeted networking as well as the opportunity to learn something new. Every month, we feature a new and notable speaker addressing a topic related to professional developments. Subjects may include everything from career coaching and time management to how to run effective meetings and inter-generational communication at work. We encourage everyone to come out to each BC Thursday to network, nosh and learn about how you can fulfill your potential. Entrepreneurship/Leadership Series Open exclusively to NetIP-NY Members, our entrepreneurship and leadership seminars focus on topics ranging from "How to Create a Business Plan" to "Recognizing and Developing Leadership Skills".
