Growth, Gratitude, and Exciting Plans for 2025

As we start a new year, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on the journey we’ve all shared over the past year and to express our gratitude to every one of you in the Kmend community. Your continued support, participation, and dedication have played a vital role in shaping our success and driving the excellent connections that make Kmend such a valuable space for professionals like you.

Celebrating 2024: A Year of Growth and Achievement

Looking back at 2024, it’s clear that this has been a year of growth and progress for all of us at Kmend. Thanks to your engagement, we’ve reached some significant milestones, including:

• Hosting 10 virtual networking events throughout the year, with the always-wonderful David O’Reilly as our host.
• Having 30% of our members attend at least one of these networking events, with many of you joining us for multiple sessions.
• A fantastic 46% growth in our overall membership compared to 2023, a sign of our thriving and expanding community.

These achievements wouldn’t have been possible without your active participation and commitment to fostering meaningful professional relationships. It’s been inspiring to watch our network flourish, and we’re so excited to see where we go next.

Looking Ahead: Kicking Off 2025 with Positivity

We’re not slowing down in 2025! Our first virtual networking event of the new year is set for Tuesday January 14th at 12 pm, and we’d love for as many of you as possible to join us. It’s the perfect opportunity to reconnect, exchange well wishes, and start the year off with some positive energy. Don’t forget to RSVP for the event here—we can’t wait to see you.

Thank you once again for making 2024 such a memorable year. Here’s to a fantastic 2025!

Warm regards,
Niamh Smith
Head of Kmend Community Support
