ProInspire Celebrates Graduation of 2014-2015 Fellows

Deon Jones speaks at DC Graduation
Last week, ProInspire celebrated the graduation of 60 fellows across four cohorts during our 2014-2015 programs.
On July 26th, we marked the graduation of the 2014 Bay Area ProInspire Fellows with an outing at an Oyster Farm in San Francisco. Everyone had a great time, enjoyed lots of food and drinks, and celebrated the program and friendships made along the way.
On July 28th, we marked the graduation of the 2014 DC ProInspire Fellows, 2014 DC Management Fellows – Fall, 2015 DC Management Fellows – Spring, with a celebration at Busboys and Poets in Washington, DC. All three cohorts came together to share lessons learned & favorite memories from their time as fellows. Guest speaker Deon Jones of Be the Change, delivered a stirring speech about the power of community engagement. He reminded urged everyone to stay committed to work that makes a difference.
