Welcome to the NETSAP Professional Committee!

The Professional Committee focuses on both personal and professional development of South Asians in the Washington, DC metro area.

South Asians are at the forefront of many professions including medicine, finance, consulting, technology, engineering, and academia. The Committee seeks to utilize our resources to provide opportunities for South Asians to meet other professionals in their field and to pursue/discuss career interests.

The Professional Committee plans to host events and speakers throughout the course of the year on a variety of topics including:

(1) financial planning, investing, and understanding your 401K plan
(2) buying your first home
(3) entrepreneurial opportunities
(4) South Asians in politics/government

The Committee also plans to sponsor events with other professional organizations including TiE, AAPI, SABA.

Some major events the Professional Committee hopes to pursue include:

Career/Networking Day – This event will hopefully join those seeking professional advancement and jobs with established, successful professionals in their fields of interest.

The “Ins” and “Outs” of Graduate School – Is it for you? What are the benefits? Part-time or Full-time? What exams do I need to prep for? What’s the application process like? What’s the typical day like?

For the group to be successful we need your support and involvement. We encourage suggestions, feedback, and your ideas. Please do not hesitate to contact us via email at professional@netsap.org. Thank you and we look forward to an exciting year.
