About the Organization


The International Professionals Network (IPN), a network of professionals, was founded in 2003. At present, it is a national based organization in the United States. However, it is expected that that the IPN will grow rapidly over the coming months and years to include many local chapters in cities and regions across the United States and in other countries.

A key objective of IPN is to offer networking opportunities and mentorship to its members. IPN believes it can build a unique strength from its collection of charter members -- professionals who are leaders and have achieved distinction in their careers. Charter Members are currently being identified.

Membership Has Benefits


Networking
One of the key advantages of being a member of IPN will be the ability to meet and network with a range of professionals, young and seasoned, across an array of professions. This will enable members to forge both professional and personal relationships. Search features will be provided to enable members to identify professionals by region, industry and functional expertise.

Mentoring
IPN envisions promoting a unique mentoring program to meet the needs of its members. Mentoring at IPN will cover areas like career counseling ('not job seeking'), general mentoring, or simply providing an opportunity to learn and share ideas with others. Mentoring at IPN would be both for professionals and students that are enrolled in a post-secondary program.

Identifying Career Opportunities
It is envisioned that through the personal interactions from networking and through the expanding services being offered on the IPN website, that internship and professional positions would be posted in order to assist members looking for career opportunities. Professional Development and Learning IPN will hold events, both web based and at bricks and mortar sites, that will be relevant, thought provoking and will be of value to the professional development of our members. As IPN expands and achieves critical mass in discrete professional areas (e.g. legal, finance, technology, etc.), we will identify opportunities for development of specific subgroups of professionals.

Making New Friends and Having Fun
We hope that members will enjoy getting to know and interact with other professionals. We believe forging personal friendships and having a good time is important for professionals with hectic and busy lives.
