“I very much appreciated the opportunity to serve as a mentor at the Ascend Convention. I learned the struggles my group faced in their careers and was humbled to provide tactical advice to help address their challenges. It is wonderful that Ascend allows for this level of dialog to help attendees. [...] A great amount of appreciation goes to the members in my group and to Ascend.”

-Yogesh Bahl, Professional Cafe Mentor

“Ascend Café provided Asian professionals a safe space for dialogue about professional journeys, challenges and the opportunity to share insights and inspire each other. Success is never achieved alone. It is a reflection of many contributing factors and a critical component is mentoring. We each have an obligation to lift those who are coming behind us as we are being lifted by those in front of us – that chain of connection also builds lasting relationships and sponsorships.”

-Arun Subhas, Professional Cafe Mentor
