Diversity and Inclusion Gala
$89,000 Raised for iMasons Scholarships!
On the 5th June over 120 iMasons met in Monaco, united in a single cause – to Give Back and help Bridge the Talent Gap – specifically, to address Diversity and Inclusion in the Digital Infrastructure Industry.
The D&I Gala was the most ambitious event organized by iMasons to date, and, thanks to the generous donations from iMasons Partners and Members attending – the Gala raised an incredible $89,100 in one evening! 100% of these funds will be applied to scholarships for women.
The D&I Gala saw a number of iMasons recognized as iM Education Champions and awarded an iM Education Champion Medal. Expect to see more colleagues from the Digital Infrastructure industry wearing these over the coming months – we know there are many who share our commitment to give back and help the next generation of talent.
A special thanks to our fabulous host, Amber Caramella and our amazing event leaders, Melissa Reid, Tommy Fitzpatrick, Hannah Ormondroyd, Ivonne Valdez, Amelie Zegmout, Amy Marks, and Dean Nelson for their help with this wonderful event.
We‘ve now achieved 14% of the $1M Education Challenge announced in London in November 2018. If you’d like to Give Back and help the next generation of talent then you can help by making a donation every $/£/Euro raised will make a difference to someone!
