Eric Barnes, Architectural Designer, DLK Civic Design

“I met Justin at a “Business Network Chicago” function last spring. He introduced himself and invited me to “Networking for a Cause” monthly events. Since I’ve worked for nonprofit associations for most of my career, I was delighted that we made a connection. He acknowledges me at the meetings and goes out of his way to make me feel welcome. Justin has a “gift of encouragement.” I notice that he goes out of his way to make others comfortable. He constantly works the crowd to mingle and make introductions. One of my favorite things about Justin is that he has an genuine concern to help others. I am impressed that he is one in a million who has an unconditional desire to reach out and doesn’t expect any reciprocation. To have become acquainted with Justin has been inspiring!”

“Justin is an extremely dedicated person who truly has the interest of others at heart. He is a natural ‘connecter’ and has a real gift in his ability to bring people together. NFAC has grown very quickly in size, much in part to Justin’s efforts. He is a genuine person who is very insightful and knowledgeable about a variety of industries and backgrounds. His commitment to the non-profit world is quite admirable, as is his ability to network with other young professionals. Justin and I have become good friends and it all started at the first NFAC event I attended. Although I do not work in the non-profit world, I find NFAC events both fun on a social level and also a great opportunity to network with like-minded individuals.”
Kristy Nittskoff, Senior Recruiter – Permanent Placement Division, Recruit 121

“His smiling face, welcoming all who venture to participate in Networking For a Cause is one thing we can depend on. He is a natural for being a reliable resource…his laugh, contagious whether you share a funny story or a bit of irony. I am so grateful to Justin and the other co founders for showcasing our non profit group at a critical time last year…NFAC is rocking. Kudos for a fantastic idea that has met it’s time.”
June Podagrosi, Executive Director/Producer, Child’s Play Touring Theatre

“Justin has, in a very short period of time, taken NFAC from a simple networking group of a few people to a mass collective. His events regularly fill to capacity and serve as a place to foster new connections between young professionals and non-profits.”
