WELCOME TO THE NEXT GEN FEMMES WEBSITE!

OUR MISSION is to foster a community of young female professionals to build successful leaders in the entertainment industry.

OUR PURPOSE is to recognize that success in the entertainment industry comes not only from practical experience, but also from substantial relationship building. Therefore, one of the main purposes of the organization is to provide a platform for networking and a foundation for building these crucial relationships.

NGF stands apart from other networking organizations because it is a Not-for-Profit Corporation that allows members to take an active role in shaping the organization by combining resources on projects to improve their careers, as well as plan events, both charitable and social.

In addition to the implementation of an e-mail tracking board, the organization arranges regular activities and events throughout the year, including monthly cocktails, lunches and brunches, guest speaker events, fundraisers and community service activities. NGF has also recently established a writers and readers’ development group called ChickLits. Learn more about Chicklits.

History of Next Gen Femmes: Rachel Abarbanell and Elise Freimuth launched NEXT GEN FEMMES in January 2006 when they recognized there was a lack of networking organizations that catered to the younger, less established female professionals in the entertainment industry. Their initial efforts included organizing dinners, lunches and cocktails with some of their peers. Through these gatherings, they started to build a network of female professionals who met regularly and shared the same goal of building lasting business and personal relationships, as well as combining resources to further their advancements within the industry.

Since its inception, NEXT GEN FEMMES’ membership has grown to well over 1,000 members based in Los Angeles and New York, and continues to rapidly expand through word-of-mouth in the industry.

The organization is currently a corporation in the process of obtaining non-profit status

Our member committees consists of co-chairs in charge of fundraising and volunteerism, weekend getaways, monthly lunches and brunches and an annual anniversary event.
