NetIP Austin Fundraising for Haiti

NetIP Austin is committed to the overall advancement and achievements of South Asian professionals. NetIP Austin promotes professional development, community service, political awareness and cultural awareness.

NetIP Austin is disheartened by the recent devestations in Haiti. As a community we feel a responsibility to respond to the needs of the children and families who are suffering. Doctors Without Borders, an international humanitarian organization has been providing their services to the people of Haiti prior to the recent events and need additional support to provide medical care to those injured.

Visit the NetIP Austin Fundraising Page to help support this cause.  For a complete summary of the event, see out NetIP Austin Haiti Fundraiser writeup by Sumina Bhatti.

NetIP Austin 2009 in Review

In April of 2009, NetIP Austin, the premier organization for South Asian Professionals joined a network of 24 chapters across North America dedicated to the overall advancement and achievement of South Asian professionals. The primary focus of NetIP is to foster a bond among South Asian professionals to unite and support each other locally, as well as give back and contribute positively to the communities in which we live and work. In its’ first year of revival, NetIP Austin delivered on this promise by hosting more than 30 events which provided our membership with opportunities for networking and giving back to the greater Austin community.
