December 2024

To our NIRI Silicon Valley and NorCal Members:

As we head into the Holiday Season and reflect on 2024, I am confident in saying it was a transformative year for NIRI Silicon Valley.

Elevated board leadership, partnerships, and programming have helped us attract amazing new members and reinvest in adding more value to you all in 2025. Highlights from this past year:

• Partnership with CFA Society of San Francisco for career development programs
• Addition of Lunch & Learn events, most recently featuring Coinbase, Airbnb, and Former Tesla Heads of IR
• In-person events at AMD, Palo Alto Networks, Russell Reynolds Associates, Top Golf, and Fieldwork
• Partnership with NIRI Virtual Chapter for free access to their monthly content driven webinars

To that end, all of our efforts are in the spirit of helping you (our members) thrive, and we sincerely value your input. So please reach out if you:

• Have event, content, or program ideas that can help us add more value
• Want to get more involved in NIRI Silicon Valley’s Board and Leadership
• Have friends/colleagues interested in learning more about NIRI Silicon Valley membership

Thank you all for your membership and we hope to see you at one of the two upcoming Bay Area NIRI Holiday Parties (San Mateo / San Francisco) to close out the year strong!

All the Best and Happy Holidays,

Alex Porter
President
NIRI SV Chapter
