ALUMNI TESTIMONIALS

Our alums are doing some incredible things in the community, in their companies, and in their careers. We’re pretty proud of the impact they’re having and we highly encourage you to check out the ALUMNI ON THE MOVE posts to see their latest moves!

"I support EDI because I found it valuable to go through a culturally-focused leadership program that helps me learn how to be my authentic self while leading in a culture that is different from my upbringing. EDI was beneficial in educating myself as well as my teams at work in those differences.”

Leni Phan, Class of 2018
The Boeing Company


"As a professional of color, EDI has been instrumental in my leadership development. The program covers material that isn't covered in the classroom or on the job. It has helped me stay true to my core values and has also helped me understand the need to manage perceptions.”

Alvin Lai, Class of 2015
The Boeing Company


"EDI enabled me to find my guiding light. I want to inspire and empower more Asian Americans to step into the leadership roles and propel equal rights to a healthier and happier lifestyle for everyone.”

Lindy Lee, Class of 2017 & 2020
Nike, Inc.


"EDI is family to me and has always supported my professional growth. While in the program, I realized the need for strong Latino leadership & wanted to give back to my community. Since graduating, I've taken what I've learned and started my own company to help improve the health of the Latino community.”

César Amaral, Class of 2012
MX360 Fitness


"The EDI community is rich with diversity and unselfish caring. I appreciate how EDI and its community is an infinite resource that is only limited to what we as individual members think it can offer to us and what we reciprocate back to the community. I truly enjoy seeing us all grow in whatever pursuits that we value, especially those I stay in contact with from my EDI Leadership Discovery program cohort. It would be a shame not to share this experience with the next generation of community.”

Yoshi Hosaka, Class of 2019
Daimler Trucks of North America


"EDI has contributed to my leadership development growth by allowing me to discover my untapped potential as a multicultural leader and how to cultivate my authentic leadership style to excel in the corporate world.”
