The Tampa JCCs & Federation is proud to announce the launch of The Network, the next evolution of the organization’s long-standing Professional Societies program, which connects Jewish professionals across industries through networking, mentorship, leadership development and philanthropy.


The Network is a dynamic community that brings professionals together across industries through exclusive events, meaningful connections and a signature mentorship program. Whether you’re an emerging professional, an established executive, entrepreneur, career changer or retiree, The Network offers meaningful opportunities to connect, grow and give back.

 

For years, the Federation’s Professional Societies has connected Jewish professionals through six key industries: Maimonides (Medical), Cardozo (Legal), Montefiore (Financial), Real Estate, Entrepreneur and Technology. The Network builds on that legacy by expanding opportunities beyond industry-specific connections, creating a broader community where professionals from every field can build relationships and engage more deeply in Jewish life and philanthropy.

BENEFITS

  • Access exclusive programs and signature events with industry leaders
  • Meet and connect with the Jewish business community

The Network Still Includes the Professional Societies

 

For years, the Tampa JCCs & Federation’s Professional Societies have been a vital space for connecting, growing careers, and making a real impact. As our professional community continues to grow, we want to ensure our structures are evolving to serve you even better.


We are excited to share that our Professional Societies are entering a new chapter. Rather than operating in isolated industries, our societies are being integrated into a larger, more comprehensive program called The Network.
