We are pleased to invite you to join the Multicultural Women Executive Leadership Foundation and the Dr. Yasmin Davidds Leadership Institute in celebrating honorees and graduates at of the Multicultural Women Executive Leadership Programs (MWELP). It promises to be an evening filled with inspiration and an opportunity to connect with key business, political and community leaders. The Annual Scholarship & Awards Gala is scheduled for November 15, 2022, at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel.

On this very special evening, we will honor our graduates and extraordinary leaders for their contributions to advancing the status of women and men. Funds raised are used to create scholarships for multicultural Women and men to participate in Executive, Entrepreneur and Millennial Leadership Programs.

The MWELP are the only executive leadership programs in the country to approach critical leadership skills from a gender-based and cultural perspective, in partnership with its host sponsors, USC Marshall School of Business and USC Latino Alumni Association. Throughout the years, hundreds of our graduates have impacted top-tiers of their public and private corporations, non-profit organizations and government institutions. We are very proud of their accomplishments.
