The Milken Conference extravaganza is over. It was jampacked with insightful sessions which can be replayed. Here's the link to stream the sessions.

While the sessions are valuable, the networking that goes on around it is the highlight of the event for official and un-official attendees. The conference is so big that side events have spawned out of it and are worth going to. The events that take the cake are the ones hosted at mansions. This begs the question, is anyone up for letting us use their mansion for next year?! ;)

Similar to the supply chain issues and pent-up demand causing shortages across the world, we ran out of discounted rooms for our highly anticipated marquee event. It's been two years since we launched and there's a lot of excitement around the event.

But not to fret, our shipping containers are not stuck at a port in China. We worked our magic and were able to request a few more discounted rooms.

However, you must book now before we run out again: Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort & Spa (Fun fact: Did you know UC Regents owns this property?) 😉

On behalf of TIDE's Lunch and Learn initiative, Yinh Hinh was quoted in the Emerging Manager Monthly (EMM) May Issue. Yinh, Managing Director at Eagle Management and Creator/Host of Growth from Failure Podcast, creatively developed the idea for TIDE and is spearheading these efforts.

"The idea is to give these students more opportunity and that includes exposure and awareness of different roles out there." Further Yinh states, "The goal is to have a very open, non-intentional lunch where there is nothing to sell here other than having an open conversation."

To read the article, visit Emerging Manager Monthly May Issue (paywall but there's a free trial!) Yinh and TIDE are mentioned on pages 17, 22, and 23. Special thanks to EMM for amplifying our initiatives.

TIDE recently got a hold of a CalSTRS document that lists the organizations that CalSTRS partners with to achieve their sustainability-related goals. TIDE was included on the list! We are honored by the vote of confidence instilled in us by CalSTRS from the onset and their continued support of our mission.

On that note, we are excited to have LaShae Badelita, the first-ever CalSTRS Investment Diversity Officer, join us for TIDE SPARK in July!

Show support for TIDE's mission and sponsor SPARK 2022!!!

What's in it for you?

We're developing an ice breaker trivia and we'd like your help! Please share with us some interesting random world trivia or something interesting about yourself that people don't know about. E-mail Shelby your suggested trivia questions. Fun fact: Did you know Mark Steed, CIO of AZ PSPRS, was on America's Got Talent and Andrew Junkin, CIO of Rhode Island, sang in his high school choir? We think there's a good possibility that they will get on the mic during the TIDE SPARK Welcome Reception. Perhaps enough peer pressure we can get them to sing, don't you think?

One of our faves in the industry, Shannon Zoller (Co-founder and Managing Partner of Tephra Advisors, a global custom capital raising advisory business and placement agency) is featured on a podcast that we highly recommend listening to!
