“Companies benefit because they get more engaged, motivated, and better performing associates as a result, and they improve their communication skills, their networking skills… It leads ultimately to a better America because you produce better leaders. That is what Ascend does, and I think it really accomplishes its mission.”

– Michael Fung, Former VP and & CFO, Wal‐Mart & Ascend North Texas Executive Advisor

“We really wanted to bring the whole community together – and when I use that word community, I really mean across generations – so if you think about the things we are doing for the students, all the way to the people who are at the pinnacle, or top of their career, where they are retired or they are looking for Board seats, we really wanted a mechanism to do something for all of those communities.”

– Anna Mok, National Managing Partner, Deloitte; Executive VP, Ascend

“It’s been more about giving back for me, so the opportunity to really be on various panel discussions whether at the National Convention or local events, or doing mentoring of individuals, has been really rewarding for me.”

– Jay Chopra, VP of Enterprise IT Sourcing & Supplier Management, Johnson & Johnson; Past President, Ascend NJ
