Botanical Gardens Junior Board recently hosted YPBirmingham’s Monthly Mingle at The Gardens Café by Kathy G. More than 150 young professionals came to the free event, which featured tapas, drink specials, a networking game to break the ice and giveaways.
Friends of Birmingham Botanical Gardens also unveiled new memberships designed especially for young professionals and college students.
The Junior Board is tasked with creating an annual event at Birmingham Botanical Gardens that will serve as both an awareness campaign and a fundraiser. The group began making plans for an event in 2011 at its most recent meeting on July 20.
The Junior Board was created earlier this year to raise awareness among young professionals for The Gardens’ events and education programs.
Nominations for The Junior Board are accepted all year and will be voted on by the current board at a meeting in October.
Anyone interested in nominating themselves or a colleague should contact Public Relations Coordinator Michael Hansen at (205) 414-3960 or mhansen@bbgardens.org; more information is available at www.bbgardens.org.
