"It was an honor to participate in the ABL leadership program...Based on the dedication and hard work of Mable Yee, Claire Chang, John Lee and the other ABL founders and board members, the program was successfully structured as an intimate, open and thought provoking forum, where I had the opportunity for the first time to collaborate with other successful Asian women who share similar ambitions, dreams and fears as I and to learn how cultural influences have positively and negatively shaped how we and others perceive us in the business world. Each meeting focused on a different theme, with different business leaders from our community sharing with us valuable insight and their secrets to success. These gifts will help me reach ahead with more confidence and poise than I would have been able to summon prior to the program. Thank you!"
