His sentiment was echoed by fellow co-founder Phillip Koblence, who added, “Two years into this foundation, we’ve successfully placed individuals who otherwise would never have known about our industry into opportunities that have the potential to shape their career journeys. This progress is truly monumental.”


Beyond the internship programs, the Foundation continues to solidify its presence with influential conferences and events, acting as a critical nexus for key industry stakeholders while inspiring meaningful discussions and collaborations. These forums foster innovation, address pressing challenges, and create actionable strategies that drive the industry forward.
