January Event & Leader of the Month
Leader of the Month: Rita Dangarwala (Phoenix)
Rita has been the Secretary of NetIP Phoenix since the chapter’s founding in April 2008. One of her early accomplishments was drafting the chapter bylaws. She has also been responsible for submitting the Chapter Metrics for which Phoenix has scored the highest place every quarter, and will do so again in Q1 2009. Rita’s leadership has further been exhibited by the key role she played at the Officers Leadership Conference, keeping on top of all the easy-to-forget details such as organizing taxis and group pictures while maintaining her enthusiasm at 110% levels at all times. Rita truly is an inspirational and highly respected leader on the Phoenix team, and is always contributing novel ideas that we are certain will help grow the Phoenix chapter to new levels!
Event of the Month: Kick Off Week – New York Chapter
The New York chapter began the 2009 year with a unprecedented Kick-Off week that highlighted all four NetIP pillars. During the Kick-Off week, NetIP hosted successful events under different pillars including an annual launch brunch, a political awareness panel, a soup kitchen community service event, and the launch of a cultural trivia club. The Kick-Off week was a tremendous success, increasing membership over 10% versus same time last year. The quality and diversity of events reinforces the NetIP brand by furthering the image of believing in education, creating a positive environment, and achieving a unique experience for members.
