Thank you to all those who celebrated with us during our 2016 Annual Dinner: Speak Up | Rise Up | Lift Up at Cipriani Wall Street! It was truly a wonderful event honoring trailblazers in our community and exploring how we can all rise as a community. As stated by Incoming President Susan Shin, “It’s not a race. We can all rise by lifting up one another.”
