Join Us For The 2010 Emerging Leaders Dinner!
Join us for the seventh annual Emerging Leaders Dinner benefiting Eastside Community Connection. Inside the ballroom at the Four Seasons Hotel, over 200 guests will enjoy live entertainment, delicious dining, and fascinating speakers.
You will get to spend the evening with some of Austin's up-and-coming student leaders and established community leaders.
Marcus Luttrell, decorated war hero and New York Times best-selling author, will be this year's keynote speaker.
Marcus Luttrell's 2007 #1 New York Times best-selling book, Lone Survivor, tells the harrowing story of four Navy SEALs who journeyed into the mountainous border of Afghanistan and Pakistan on Operation Redwing. An unparalled motivational story of survival, the book is also a moving tribute to the friends and teammates who did not make it off the mountain. A powerful testament to the courage, integrity, patriotism and community that forged these American heroes, Lone Survivor is an incredible account of teamwork, fortitude and modern warfare.
At the podium, Luttrell will take us from the rigors of SEAL training and what it takes to join the America's elite fighting force, to the battle on the mountain, into his family's experience of community support and generosity, and back to his own incredible story of survival and grace. In powerful narrative, he weaves a rich account of courage and sacrifice, honor and patriotism, community and destiny that audiences will find both wrenching and life-affirming.
We are also pleased to announce that serving as this year's honorary chair is Representative Eddie Rodriguez. His leadership and service in the Legislature and around the state is a wonderful example for young leaders in our community.
The Emerging Leaders Dinner is a wonderful opportunity to get involved with an local organization and make a contribution to empower a community to overcome obstacles and promote change. In addition to ensuring an exciting evening, your decision to attend will have a great impact on the needs in East Austin and the student volunteers who seek to serve those needs.
Join us on Thursday, March 5th for this very special event!
