2015 Inclusion Fusion:
|
|
|
|
Highlight of the Night "Epic Bid War": The pivotal moment in the auction, when the auctioneer, Graham Crow, says to Bidder #101, "You know when Bidder #273 raised her bid card, she was thinking 'this guy ISN'T man enough to raise his again.'" Needless to say, Bidder #101's hand shot up in the air to raise the price of the Seattle Seahawks Football signed by Russell Wilson to $900!
|
EDI hopes everyone had a fantastic time at Inclusion Fusion last month. Thank you for your continued support because w
ith your help,
we raised over $95,000! This will enable us to grow our Leadership Discovery and Leadership Navigation programs and continue to build a community of diverse global leaders.

Marci's Column:
|
"This past Friday I attended the NW Asian Weekly's Visionary Award dinner which celebrated the achievements of the many "dreamers" that are out there. Those who are not afraid to dream big, turn their ideas into a vision and then make it a reality. We are so proud of EDI alum, Lorraine Yu, for being honored with one of the Visionary awards this year!! This got me thinking.."
