DPMI Celebrates 10 Years with a Toast from Freedom from Hunger CEO Steve Hollingworth
May 22, DPMI alumni and friends gathered in the DLC to celebrate 10 years of DPMI, and the many partnerships that nurtured the program’s achievements and innovation.
Honored guests in attendance were Beryl Levinger, Ed Laurence, and CEO of Freedom from Hunger Steve Hollingworth who offered the keynote toast.
The evening kicked off with attendees breaking the ice by answering the question, “if you could have a super power, what would it be?” Below are just a few things that would change as a result of DPMI super powers:
- No more income disparity
- Environmental damage would be reversed
- Steve Hollingworth would be able to slam dunk a basketball…every time!
