Executive Development Institute (EDI) held its 2010 benefit dinner and auction, Inclusion Fusion, at SODO Park. The featured chefs included Diego Castroviejo, executive chef at Taberna del Albardero, Joey Serquinia, executive chef at Harvest Vine, Sam Ung, executive chef and owner of Phnom Penh Noodle House, and Dalis Chea, executive chef of Herban Feast.
About 250 people attended the event and $90,000 was raised.
EDI is embarking on a new chapter in its 16-year history. It will be expanding its programs to ethnic groups other than Asian Pacific and Latino participants. ♦
