Our aim at NYP is to provide our members with opportunities to foster networks through a series of quality business and social events.
NYP is a great way for young professionals to meet like-minded people and develop the skills to take them to the top of their chosen field.
We encourage our members to create networks through a balance of social and professional events, in an environment that is not industry specific.
Our members are those who are in the first 15 years of their career and who live, work or do business in the Nelson/Tasman region.
You are considered a professional if you feel that NYP will benefit you in your profession – whatever that may be. If this sounds like you then we welcome you to join the NYP network.
Membership of Nelson Young Professionals provides many benefits including reduced ticket prices to NYP events/functions.
Membership costs just $30 and lasts a full year. Head over to www.nyp.co.nz to join.
About Us
Nelson is an incredible place to live. We have beautiful mountains, beaches and trails, little traffic, low-ish house prices and a warm welcoming community made up of passionate people doing extraordinary things. We are also enjoy a strong economy, giving young people fantastic career opportunities, but with a work-life balance people in larger cities can only dream of.
NYP was established in 2009, to help young professionals make the most of their work-life balance. We’re an incorporated society, run by a dedicated committee of members who volunteer their time to keep wheels of progress greased. We organise events, sports teams and activities – to enable our members to connect with each other and maximise their experience of Nelson-Tasman.
Our membership topped 140 active individuals in the 2018 year with exposure to many more people via our social media channels. On a daily basis we smash the pre-conceived notion that Nelson is a place you come to die – we believe it’s a place people come to finally live. Whether its social sports, dog beach antics, rock wall swims, board game evenings or hurtling down one of the kilometres of mountain bike tracks there is something for everyone in Nelson – NYP provides the platform to connect with those who share your passion.
We’re an incorporated society – you can read up on our rules by clicking here. And in a broad sense, we exist is to:
- Facilitate members to network and socialise with other people whose careers are based in the Nelson-Tasman region;
- Provide a platform for connecting various sectors of the community;
- Provide a sense of community for young people whose careers are based in Nelson; and
- Promote Nelson-Tasman as a place for young professionals to live, work and play.
