Dear colleague,
I am pleased to announce that the Greater Washington Area (GWA) Ascend’s Corporate Executive Initiative (CEI) web site is now live at https://www.ascendcei.org. This web site provides information on CEI and serves as a repository for members to access CEI resources, event details, and ways to get involved.
We successfully completed the Corporate Executive Leadership Program (CELP) Cohort 4 on 15 November 2019. We like to thank Wes Hom and Amy Shang for serving as the facilitators for Cohort 4 and the various executives and mentors who invested time with our Cohort 4 participants. We also like to thank Accenture for their continued sponsorship of CELP. Finally, we like to thank the CELP Planning team for all their hard work and contributions in support of the program.
We are happy to inform you that CELP continues to drive impactful results. Please join me in congratulating the following CELP alumni on their promotions/advancements:
- Mahwish Hamlani (Cohort 2) to Managing Director of Accenture
- Najam Mohiuddin (Cohort 3) to Managing Director of Accenture
- Raveesh Dewan (Cohort 3) to CEO of Joget, Inc.
We welcome your feedback on any CEI activities in this upcoming year. Do you have an exciting life event to share? Did you take on a new role? We would love to know more about each of you as we grow this community, so please send any photos and information to
Thank you for your continued commitment to the advancement of our Pan-Asian colleagues.
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and Happy New Year. Be safe and have a wonderful holiday season.
