Networking
Background
The NetSAP-DC Social Committee will provide NetSAP-DC members the opportunity
to plan and provide various types of formal and informal networking events
for the NetSAP-DC membership and South Asian community of the Greater Washington
area.
2005 Objectives for the Networking Committee
 |
To give NetSAP-DC members ownership over social gatherings
and events. |
|
To increase patron attendance at events by creating
social events with mass appeal. |
|
To create an "open-door" atmosphere for South
Asian's newly transitioning to the DC area. |
Proposed Events
1) Member-Only Networking Luncheon - Networking events at local restaurants
for a smaller audience (35-50 Members). This intimate atmosphere provides
an opportunity to: introduce new Members to NetSAP and encourage networking
amongst members and community leaders; collaborate with Professional Committee.
2) Networking Events - Host larger events that provide an informal
environment to mix and mingle with other South Asian Professionals. Venues
will be in DC and times will vary based on the type of networking event.
3) Special Events - Host annual events that provide different avenues
for members to engage in informal, yet social networking activities in various
settings. Examples include:
|
Chai Chat: A monthly opportunity for South Asians to
informally discuss and express their ideas on cultural issues within
an unstructured context. Examples of topics include dating, family,
marriage, etc. |
|
Cosmic Bowling: A networking event at a cosmic bowling
center with music, food, fun, and a night of strikes with collaboration
of the Sports Committee. |
|
Laser Quest: An exciting interactive game of laser
zapping entertainment. The game is similar to hide and seek and tag
but requires action filled movements required in cops and robbers,
with assistance from the Sports Committee. |
|
Kings Dominion: A public park located in Virginia filled
with rides (water park included) and shows. This fun filled event
provides an informal networking atmosphere in a recreational &
relaxed environment; with assistance from the Sports Committee. |
