About NJC The NJC was founded in 1921 for the purpose of offering civic and social opportunities for young professionals in the Nashville area. As the organization evolved, these opportunities changed and adapted accordingly. Despite the variations in events, one core tenet remains constant: NJC opportunities enable members to engage in hands-on professional development & leadership training experiences that are unparalleled. Professional Development These four areas, each a critical leg of the organization, provide our membership with a variety of options and opportunities to get involved in the NJC and the Nashville community. In each of the areas we have a number of activities, events and opportunities for leadership. With the commitment to promote each of these three important dimensions personal development, professional development and community development the NJC is truly focused on supporting each of our members in finding their passion and making a contribution. In the networking program, individuals are put into a business casual environment with a targeted audience of like-minded young professionals. The goal of the NJC networking events is to support, guide and mentor Nashville's young professionals and provide members with the opportunity to establish networking contacts that will be valuable throughout their professional careers. These events are planned to be fun, while allowing professionals a chance to mix and mingle. These mixers and events are planned to offer businesses and individuals the opportunities to make contacts and build a referral and client portfolio. These events let members practice networking skills in a comfortable environment, while still learning about products and services available to Nashville residents and businesses. These events also allow Nashville businesses to showcase their products and services by providing sponsorship opportunities. These opportunities included event sponsorships and booth packages. The NJC networking events create an opportunity for members to develop professional relationships with other professional organizations in the Nashville Area. The NJC Philanthropy Committee provides resources (both manpower and/or fundraising ) to other not-for-profit organizations in the Nashville area and provides leadership opportunities to the membership of NJC. The committee supports and administrates the major philanthropy events sponsored by the NJC.
