Bellevue-based Executive Development Institute (EDI) raised more than $110,000 at its annual “Inclusion Fusion” benefit dinner and auction at Seattle’s SODO Park on May 20.

Funds raised will allow EDI, now in its 18th year, to continue to expand its programs in both content and diversity. More than 550 Hispanic and Asian-Pacific participants have graduated from EDI leadership programs.

Hosts for the benefit dinner were Dr. Sandra Madrid (University of Washington), Jenette Ramos (The Boeing Company) and Mike Sotelo (La Plaza International). More than 250 guests participated in the silent and live auctions.
