Sometimes we need to see a bigger world, like the one provided by our LinkedIn feed, but with RTO being de rigueur, we need to get to know the people in our neighborhood.
We’re continuing to try new things to bring the people in our profession closer together this year as we transition to becoming a nonprofit educational organization (application pending), including this special local edition newsletter.
This new ICN Member Exclusive Content feature, which we’re tentatively calling the ICN Field Report focuses on communicating with ICN members, one state at a time, based on demand and interest. This month, we’re publishing 6 such newsletters, and each will be found in our LinkedIn Members-Only Group upon its release.
Special Edition Table of Contents
- Georgia Field Report
- Hosting a Local ICN Event
- Active Insights Job Seeker List in 2025 & Georgia Seekers
- The Insights Job Referral List in 2025 & Georgia Jobs
- Networking by volunteering for the greater good
- Support the ICN: Donate $5 or more to our new nonprofit
If you have questions, comments, or suggestions about this effort, we’d love to hear from you at ICN@insightscareernetwork.org. This report will also be posted to our LinkedIn Group – a great place to talk to other ICN members.
Georgia Field Report
🔍 The ICN has reached out to our colleagues in your state for news and suggestions on where to go to connect with people in insights and in adjacent areas. We need each other, and we need to be with other people regularly for our personal health and for the health of our careers. Get out and meet more people this year!
In addition to the events and organizations listed below, consider touching base with your alma maters, their alumni associations, and their student-led organizations. 68% of ICN members have an advanced degree. You all have an alma mater. This semester is when universities across the country are at their most active. The real world is coming fast now is the time to get engaged as a volunteer, mentor, or networker.
Georgia is a hotbed of activity this spring, beginning with our own! Here’s a tiny selection of conferences and events happening in the area this year.
