Leader of the Month: Sanchet Rege (Atlanta)
Sanchit Rege currently serves as the Professional Chair for NetIP Atlanta and has been on the board for the last 2 years. Originating from Bombay and seeking opportunities to involve himself in an organization to which he can relate, Sanchet joined the 2008 board as a webmaster for the Atlanta chapter. At the end of the 2008, he was one of the few volunteers who remained on the board and expressed interest in assuming the responsibilities of Professional Chair. In his role he has taken the lead in developing and executing events for the whole year that go beyond the traditional four pillars with unique and innovative concepts, including a Speed Dating event, a Consulting 101 in partnership with Georgia Institute of Technology, and a “Bowling for Charity†event. Through his hard work and commitment to advancing the Atlanta chapter, Sanchet has gained respect from the NetIP board members and also local community leaders. We are proud to have a committed, motivated and innovative individual on the NetIP Atlanta board!
