Completing the mentorship program allows mentees to leave with a clearer understanding of their potential profession. Which enables them to better prepare for a career path development and to be life-long mentors. In addition to 88 Funds and the mentorship program, the ICON Award was developed. It recognizes the several AAPI trailblazers and pioneers in the Las Vegas Community. Click this link to get tickets: https://www.eventbrite.com/
