Are you a young professional looking to develop your leadership skills while giving back to the community? Join us for Speed Connection, a free, high-energy networking event designed to introduce emerging leaders to local nonprofits and meaningful opportunities to get involved.

Presented by the St. Tammany Chamber of Commerce’s Northshore Young Professionals and the Northshore Community Foundation, Speed Connection brings young professionals together with representatives from local nonprofits in a fast-paced format. Now in its second year, the event will feature many new participating nonprofits, giving attendees the opportunity to discover organizations making a difference across the Northshore and explore ways to volunteer, serve on a nonprofit board or provide support through their workplace or business.

You’ll also meet other young professionals who are looking for ways to make an impact—and lunch is included.
