ALUMNI & CURRENT CLASS
Reina Valdez
Class of 2016

Reina recently joined the Associate Board of the 253 Club, YWCA.

I remember one of EDI's session was on risk-taking. For me, becoming a board member is a huge risk. I will be stepping out of my comfort zone, but I know it will be very rewarding. The EDI program was a nine-month journey, yet it still continues to influence me for the rest of my life.

  Follow the "Journey of Three" 2017 participants. They are sharing  their  EDI experiences and ways they are applying what they learned in monthly blog posts. Check in for updates.  Bon  voyage!

"As a retired Boeing manager, I reflect on what I've learned in my career. The EDI program has offered me perspectives that are unmatched by any leadership development programs. It gave me a sense of identity of who I am (as an Asian American) and what I can do for my community."
EDI offers culturally-tailored
leadership programs for Asian/Pacific
Islanders and Hispanic professionals.
