New Jersey Chapter Offers

Dinner Meetings

PROFESSIONAL RESOURCES:

Monthly Dinner Meetings

Eight meetings per year designed to foster networking opportunities across the SIM-NJ membership while providing a forum for learning about current topics in the field of IT management.

SOCIAL EVENTS:

Twice a year the SIM NJ Chapter provides social opportunities for membership and their significant others to come together and network in a less formal setting. In August we have a members-only BBQ in a less formal setting that is FREE to our members and allows members to enjoy time with each other without a formal presentation. In December, we have a formal holiday party for our members and a non-member guest. Over the years, this event has become a favorite as it is an opportunity to celebrate with fellow members and their guests! These events are both extremely well attended and serve as a way to build community within the SIM NJ membership.

Golf and Technology

FOUNDATION EVENTS:

Golf and Technology Event

SIM NJ sponsors an annual golf event that benefits the NJ SIM Foundation which contributes to local universities, charities and other non-profit organizations. Over the past several years the Foundation has provided significant donations to organizations such as the Cancer Support Community, Big Brothers and Sisters and Junior Achievement.
