Professional Program:
 

Hi all,

 

To allow our members better communicating with others who share the same technical background, NWCHP decide to form some SIGs (special interest groups).  By doing it, we believe we can benefit our member in the following areas:

  1. Making friends with same technical background.
  2. Chance to learn different technology in your working area, e.g. in database SIG, a SQL Server DBA can learn how to do the same job in Oracle from an Oracle DBA, and vice versa.
  3. Exchange some helping tips in your daily work.
  4. Increase the possibility of your job searching.
  5. Considering there are a lot of Microsoft guys, it’s good chance for “software maker meets software user”.
  6. Since the tech talk and presentation will be hold insight group of ‘well-knowing-it’ people.  So the talk will be easy to prepare, and be able to go in depth.
  7. Again, since the event can be hold in small group of people, it’s very easy to find place to host it.

 

The following are the rough plan about how we operate this SIG project.  Please provide your comments and suggestions.

 

SIGs we can have:

  1. Database technology SIG.
  2. Computer operating system technology SIG - Unix, Windows, Linux, etc.
  3. Programming language SIG – C/C++, Java, C#, etc.
  4. Bio-Tech and Bio-Pharm SIG.
  5. Telecommunication SIG.
  6. Accounting SIG.
  7. Investment SIG.
  8. Project management SIG.
  9. Developing business in China SIG.
  10. More …

 

SIG should have:

  1. A coordinator
  2. 5 to 20 people
  3. People can involve any SIG (as many as they want). 

 

Actives:

  1. Non-regular group activity insight SIG, including:

·        Chat about technology.

·        Little tech presentation.

·        Party …J.

  1. Bi-month, we have an event to have all member of all SIGs in one place, so people can go around to see what other SIG doing.
  2. If the presentation insight SIG goes well, he/she may want to present it to whole NWCHP.

I, Jinghao Liu, would like to coordinate the whole SIG project (If anyone like to perform this job with me or think she/he can do better than me, let NWCHP board or me knowJ).  Please send email at nwchp@nwchp.org for anything regarding it.  We will have an email list for whole SIG project, and couple email lists for each SIG respectively.

 

We need enthusiastic person to be our coordinator for each SIG.  If you like to be the ‘ONE’ for the SIG listed above or any new SIG you think there are people interested to.  Just contact me directly.  I will work with you to send an SIG opening announcement to all NWCHP members and create the email list.  And that, you are on your own. 

 

Thanks

Jinghao Liu, the coordinator of NWCHP SIG project.

NWCHP Professional Programs

 

Our professional programs are designed with three clear purposes in mind:

  1. Promoting hi-tech information exchange among members in particular and in the Northwest technical community, so that our members will be able to broaden their knowledge bases;
  2. Encouraging cross-cultivation among multiple disciplines and industries so that synergistic ideas would be induced and created;
  3. Striving for commercialization of technology by integrating technology with business wisdoms and venture dollars;

Specifically, our professional programs cover five categories:

  1. Technical seminars: new technology concept, methods, devices and processes will be discussed; 
  2. Product seminars: interested in telling or being told how a new product is conceived and developed? intrigued by how a new gizmo function or is used? Come to these meetings! 
  3. Market seminars: Here you would gain a broad view about a specific industry landscape and pictures about players, competition and trends; 
  4. Business seminars: Wanted to startup your business? You know tech alone can achieve very little. You probably need to come these seminars to be equipped with wisdoms in R&D, manufacturing, marketing, financing, H&R and, one you don’t want to miss, venture funding;
  5. Professional service seminars: Baffled by legal, tax, insurance, immigration troubles? Part of your personal financial problems will find answers here. 

For the ease of organization and relevance of topics, most of these seminars will be organized around Interest Groups, as we realize that members do come from diversified background with diversified interests. 

In addition to brick & mortar seminars, we will also host web-based online seminars in the future to enable members do online search for technical expertise, contribute program topics and candidates, coach fellow members and host your own programs;

To best utilize social resources and gain recognition from mainstream society, we will from time to time co-sponsor certain programs with other organizations.

This Forum is managed by Po Yuan and Alan Li

NWCHP wants to bring out the entrepreneurship in you, and encourage and incubate Chinese Hi-Tech startups in the Pacific Northwest region. We believe that with your intelligence and diligence, coupled with the unique cultural and geographical advantages to participate in the ongoing hi-tech and e-commerce revolution, which is spreading from America to Asia, the Northwest region will continue to boom with new Chinese Hi-Tech startups.

  1. Host educational and informational seminars, with such topics as Early Stage Financing, Asian e-Commerce Opportunities, IPO Procedures and Regulations, Business Operations and Management Consulting, etc.
  2. Serve as a bridge between local entrepreneurs seeking capital investment and the venture capitalists seeking opportunities to invest in Chinese startups. Receive venture capitalists from the U.S. as well as Greater China region to visit Seattle and the Northwest area. Organize demo tours for local entrepreneurs to visit Silicon Valley and cities in Asia. Collect and host information on U.S. investor’s investing opportunities to startups in Great China region and vice versa.
  3. Organize participation in Hi-Tech conferences and shows, either as an exhibitor or as a sponsor, to help local startups promote their product and image to national and international audiences.
  4. Set up exchange programs with other Entrepreneur Forums, such as Silicon Valley Engineers Association, MIT Forum, among others, for information exchange and mutual learning.
  5. Maintain a database to help local entrepreneurs locate talented personnel to join their startups as well as helping interested hi-tech professionals find the best opportunity to join a promising startup.
