Newly appointed President, Christian Koch, reflected on the creation of the board, “We are, at heart an organization By Engineers, For Engineers. We're excited about the future and the possibilities we can help create.”  Koch further added his thoughts on the creation of NYNOG, "We started NYNOG as a way to bring networking and IT professionals in the New York City Metro area together through our small and intimate events that we host throughout the year. People get together and learn about new technologies, discuss problems and challenges they face with changing infrastructure, or just come to meet other like-minded professionals.” Indeed, NYNOG community participants are encouraged to attend events and ask questions about their careers, the industry, changes in network technology, and anything else the community can help with.  Information about the next NYNOG event on March 23rd 2017 can be found on www.nynog.org.
