🏀NYCPA's networking night at the Nets vs. Spurs game was a slam dunk!

Last week, members gathered at Barclays Center for a networking event as the Brooklyn Nets took on the San Antonio Spurs. The game brought plenty of excitement, but the night was also about connection. Members caught up, met new faces, and enjoyed food and drinks together.

NYCPA was honored as the Nonprofit of the Game! During halftime, Society President Kevin Matz joined the live broadcast on WFAN and SiriusXM to talk about the organization’s mission and the impact we strive to make. He shared how NYCPA supports the profession through advocacy, promotes ethics, and helps advance financial literacy in our communities, amongst many of our other initiatives.

You can listen to the full interview on the Brooklyn Nets playlist on iHeartRadio, and be sure to catch more moments from the evening in our photo album:

The night featured interactive experiences with a magician and a caricature artist, and meaningful shared insights amongst friends.
