Network of Bali Young Professionals

Bali Young Professionals is a network created by BCA youths to serve as a networking platform for Bali youth who are in their junior/ senior year of college going into the workforce as well as Bali youth currently in the workforce. The idea is to portray various professions and serve as a network for Bali youth who are deciding on their upcoming career paths. It can also be used for people who would like to go into other areas of a profession they may already be a part of.

Our first event was April 15-18 where we gathered in Dallas, Texas to introduce the new network. We began with a welcome on the first day which consisted of a speed dating/ get to know me with all the guests. The following day was the main event which consisted of a panel filled with speakers from a diverse range of professions. Careers of speakers ranged from cyber security to real estate to music, photography and selfemployed. Speakers introduced their professions and the process it took to get them there. Then the floor was open for questions. There was a flood of questions throughout the panel from the audience and the event remained engaging the entire time. That evening we proceeded to the same hall for the gala where everyone ate, let loose and had a great time. Sunday was filled with goodbyes and feedback from the group about what they hope to see from us as well as suggestions of how we as an organization can help boost the Bali community.

We hope this organization continues to grow and reach more Bali youths around the U.S and become an organization which does its part to give back to the community in Bali. As we grow, we hope to pour into ourselves and do more to grow our network. Our sincere thanks and gratitude to BCA-USA and to donors whose generous donations went a long way towards making the networking weekend successful.
