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.
How often does the
Society meet?
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 Tiernans Restaurant, 99 Broad Street, to continue
with socializing.
How many members does
the Irish Networking Society have?
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.
Do I need to be Irish to join?
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.
How do I join the Irish
Networking Society and what is the cost?
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.
