What are some successes or cool facts about NextGen Dublin?
Young professionals just like you run NextGen Dublin. The NextGen Dublin Leadership Council is comprised of outstanding young professionals who meet on a regular basis to help set the events for the year, determine the volunteer efforts they want to support and establish new programs that young professionals would enjoy. For example, one new program created this year by the Leadership Council is called Re-Luncheonships (new relationships over lunch). This new program allows you to meet with one or two other NextGen Dublin members over lunch as a way to network in a more personal setting. Our first Re-Luncheonship is on January 23 from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
