You are cordially invited to attend the inaugural Toast to Excellence Celebration and Champagne Toast hosted by Products of our Environment and the Engineer's Run Club. To commence this remarkable year, we’ve organized a not-to-be-missed afternoon of brunch, networking, wellness, and good company. The Toast to Excellence will uplift the diversity of everyday champions who are shaping the fields of science, technology and humanities by creating a welcoming environment to reflect on an impactful year of personal and collective achievement, while encouraging authentic connections through motivational wellness talks led by fellow members of the STEM community.
The program will feature keynote speakers. Additionally, as a special treat, a reception and brunch will be provided to each guest. On time arrival is highly recommended.
Toast to Excellence is not your ordinary holiday gathering. It's the start of a festive year-end tradition to hallmark our wins amidst the daily grind with pause for celebration and renewal, all inspired, of course, by innovators like you who are shaping the future and creating a world where each one of us can flourish.
