Frequently-Asked Questions
What is the Irish Networking Society?
The Irish Networking Society is a non-profit organization that promotes and develops business, career, and social contacts for people who share Irish interests. Established in March 1995, the INS, as it is commonly known, provides a forum for people to meet, network, and socialize.
You are invited to general meetings held the first Wednesday of every month at 6:30pm in Downtown Boston. Each meeting focuses on a particular topic and features a guest speaker with expertise in the topic area. Admission: $5 for members and $10 for non-members. Meetings usually end at 9:00pm and everyone moves to Tiernan’s Restaurant, 99 Broad Street, to continue with socializing.
We have over 200 active members. Ages range from early twenties to late fifties, with an almost equal number of males and females. 60% have immigrated to the US from Ireland in the past several years, with a rapidly-growing number of Irish-American members joining every month. Our meetings usually attract between 50-70 attendees, with some popular topics averaging over 100.
Certainly not. We encourage anyone with an interest in networking to attend our meetings and become a member. Everyone has something to learn and gain from the INS.
A membership application can be completed at a any monthly meeting or from our website.
The annual membership fee for an individual is just $50 per calendar year. For corporate members, the fee is based on the number of employees.
