As the year rolls in to a close MYSG have reflected over
the last 12 months, our successes and failures and what we can build on for
2016. We currently have over 800 members in the Greater Manchester area
and we organised 10 networking events over the last year to cater for these
members. They varied from beer tasting in the Northern Quarter, to
cupcake decorating in Spinningfields; drinks with the royal institute of
chartered surveyors to wine tasting and spa evenings with the young
accountants.
Next year the MYSG Board are going to focus on making all
of our events inter-professional so that we can add a real benefit to our
members. We will be looking to work with the Manchester Young
Professional Network, the junior bankers in Manchester and continue our on-going
relationships with the young accountants and surveyors. We also
have a JLD representative on our board, Victoria Elliot, who attends the
National Junior Lawyers Division meetings and feeds back to our members any
updates or concerns we may have nationally for our level within the
profession. For 2016 we are hoping to strengthen our relationship
with Manchester Law Society and bring more closely together the senior and
junior members of the profession.
Dates for your diary:
13th January 2016 Health and Wellness Event at
Castlefield Gym.
Attendees will be treated to an informative presentation
from a nutritional expert and a complimentary body conditioning class – a sure
way to beat those January blues and get fit for 2016.
For those of us who are more inclined to the traditional
kind of networking “in the pub” we will be holding a wine tasting event with
the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors towards the end of January.
18th February 2016 “Mega inter-professional
event” at Revolucion De Cuba.
This event hosts circa 700 attendees from a variety of
professions within the city centre including the Young Solicitors Group, the
Young Chartered Accountants Group, the Town Planners Institute and the
Chartered Surveyors. It is set to be a great success as it has been in
previous years with attendees clearly being the future leaders in their
professions.
Members are encouraged to check the website regularly for
news and updates as we are receiving an unprecedented amount of interest in
each of our events and attendance is on a first come first served basis.
