This meaningful event gathers community leaders, professionals, alumni, and supporters to celebrate the achievements of our Board Leadership Program and Mentorship Program graduates - diverse and dynamic individuals who represent the future of leadership across industries.

This year's event hold special significance as we honor the life and legacy of Francis Cheung, our friend, mentor, past president, guiding light.
