President's Message
I hope this message finds you well as we all face the many impacts and challenges of this crisis that has overshadowed our lives. Since I began my time working in the city, I’ve always been awestruck by New Yorkers’ resilience during challenging times. I take comfort in the fact that we will prevail.
Unfortunately, we had to postpone the IESNYC Lumen Gala in light of the health concerns around COVID-19. There are many moving parts to planning the gala, and a future date will be announced pending improved conditions. I cannot put into words how hard the Lumen committee has been working to move through the process and make the difficult decisions they are encountering. There is no doubt the Lumen committee co-chairs, Clara Powell and Adrienne Shulman, take this situation very seriously and place the safety and welfare of our community as the highest priority. I want to thank them for their hard work and dedication. Read More>
