Young Professional Program Sponsorship and Mentorship

With the goal of growing into the next generation, the NorCham-Chicago Board of Directors is focusing on the Young Professional Norwegians in Chicago. 

For instance, we have partnered with the Swedish American Chamber of Commerce to host a Young Professional (YP) event at the Nordic House with 1st event on November 11, 2023 This event was free for YPs, and the board had authorized a $600 budget for our share of the expenses. The intern with SACC is a student at North park University, and she has a large network of Norwegian classmates and recent graduates, so we are expecting a good turn-out.

We hope that you will support this event in two ways:

1) We are accepting sponsors for this and other events with a donation of $100 or more. You or your company will be recognized on the event advertising and at the Nordic House. These donations will help defray the cost of the event and provide funds for future YP events.

2) We are asking for volunteers to be Mentors for the YP program. The Mentorship program will be a valuable resource for the young Norwegians as they begin their careers in Chicago.

If you are interested in supporting the Young Professional program through sponsorship or mentorship, please reach out to Matt Nygaard at treas.nlmc@gmail.com for the next steps, or register here for sponsorship of mentorship. 

NACC Members should note that these YP events are NOT an open event for general membership but a special event for our young profesionals.  Please forward this information to any any young professionals (age 21-25) that may be interested.
