Wow. Just WOW. The Saunders Scholarship event at RIT was brilliant! The YEA! corporate team pulled together one of the most impressive programs I've ever had the privilege to be a part of: approximately 700 people over a period of four days in two hotels, with the final Big Night for awards finalists at the massive RIT Student Center - well, it was, in a word, outstanding. I learned SO much, got inspired in ways I can barely express, and am fired up for the next stages of 2016-2017 and beyond! Our only finalist from New Hampshire, Keene's Jo Mitchell, was superb. Her presentation was as professional as it gets, and she was competing against the best and brightest all across the nation. I could go on and on, but I've got work to do promoting the YEA! program here in NH! Here are some pics (I have video, too, but I'm having a little trouble getting it off my phone):
Leaving soon for the Saunders Scholarship event! I'll post pics and keep everyone up-to-speed on all the exciting moments! Best wishes and good luck to Keene's worthy finalist, Jo Mitchell!
Counting down to our BIG EVENT - The Investors Panel - just a few hours away!
