Event Overview: Step into an evening of inspiration, reflection, and celebration as we gather to honor the young men of the GRAD Foundation Mentoring Program. This is not just a banquet; it is a tribute to the legacy being shaped today by the actions, choices, and growth of each of our mentees. Theme: This year, we embrace the theme “Legacy in the Making”—a reminder that true legacy isn’t simply something built with time or age, but is formed in the choices we make in every moment. For our young men, their legacy begins today. It’s not a distant vision or something that happens when we’re older or after we’re gone. Every step they take, every achievement they reach, is an integral part of their ongoing journey. We celebrate the impact they are making right now, and the profound potential that already lives within them. Program: The evening will feature a three-course plated dinner with unlimited beverages, a year-in-review recap, and a special guest speaker. We'll also honor our graduating seniors with a special presentation as we send them off to college, acknowledging their hard work and the bright future ahead of them. And, of course, we will celebrate the achievements of all our mentees with awards recognizing the dedication and progress they have made this year. Ticket Price: $80 per person Includes a three-course plated meal and unlimited beverages. We invite you to bring your family and loved ones to join in this moment of celebration. Together, we’ll honor the present achievements and the future legacies being built right now. Additionally, your ticket purchase is not just a seat at the table, but a contribution to the continued development of these young men. Every dollar supports our activities, mentorship programs, and scholarships, helping us to guide them on their journeys, empowering them to realize their potential, and ensuring their legacy is built through every moment of growth. Parking: Free self-parking available at the venue. Thank you for supporting the foundation of tomorrow’s leaders—because their legacy is already in the making. Your participation helps fuel the journey, and for that, we are deeply grateful. Information Source: Guide Right Achievement Development Foundation | eventbrite

Let's face it, cancer's a real buzzkill, especially kids cancer. It's like that uninvited guest who shows up at your party, drinks all the good booze, and then tries to steal your karaoke mic. But we're not going to let it win! We're fighting back with our brains, our banter, and a whole lot of trivia! All funds raised are going toward the CANCER SUCKS team 's 20-mile CureSearch hike at the end of June. We are united in our dedication to make a difference in the lives of children and their families affected by cancer.

We'll be testing your knowledge on everything from obscure historical facts to pop culture deep cuts. And yes, there will be prizes – because who doesn't love the sweet, sweet taste of victory? Why Trivia? Why Now? Because, let's be honest, who needs a reason to flex their brain muscles while simultaneously enjoying a delightful adult beverage? Plus, it's for a great cause!

Let's help them kick cancer's butt! Expect Trivia That'll Make You Say, "Wait, What?" (And maybe a few "I knew that!" moments too.) Our Amazing Trivia Host, Ben Leshen (Who may or may not have had a few "pre-game" beverages.) Delicious Drinks from Eagle Rock's local watering hole, The Fable (Let's thank them for donating their space. Also, brainpower requires fuel, and sometimes that fuel is tequila/beer.) Yummy food, TBD (To absorb the tequila/beer.) Prizes! (Think bragging rights and maybe a slightly used encyclopedia set.) A Chance to Stick It to Cancer (In a fun, non-violent, trivia-filled way.) A way to support your friends on the CANCER SUCKS team (Keri Fitzgerald, Elizabeth Pezza, Allison Chatfield, Christie Troutt, Gary Collins, Juanita Lourens, Denise Freese, and Ana Paula Arato Gonçalves) Important Notes Ages 21+ only.

HEALTH & SAFETY: WE ASK THAT YOU PLEASE WEAR A FACE MASK WHILE INDOORS FOR OUR EVENTS. THANK YOU.

Trust us. Jong-Fast knows how to tell a tough story with searing honesty and stunning humor , weaving in the complications and struggles of being Erica Jong's daughter.

HEALTH & SAFETY: WE ASK THAT YOU PLEASE WEAR A FACE MASK WHILE INDOORS FOR OUR EVENTS. THANK YOU. There’s a lot of talk about oligarchs these days. Their influence, their outsize impact on our own lives have become apparent especially in the last decade. The ultrarich live in a parallel universe, but their reach touches us seemingly now more than ever. While the wealthy were always powerbrokers, the ultrarich seem to have moved right into the seats of government. In his new book, The Haves and Have-Yachts , Evan Osnos, staff writer at The New Yorker , captures the almost unbelievable lifestyle of the wealthiest titans. Their self indulgences are a curiosity to be sure— as we gawk at their outrageous and lavish displays of excess, we laugh in disbelief, and wonder at the disparity between the haves and the have-nots: the power the haves have, and the fallout to come. This is more than a peek into the lives of the ultrarich, into their luxury bunkers, their homes, their superyachts and to their extravagant lifestyles: it’s a portrait of who holds power in America. Osnos interviews these billionaires, whose excesses are often shamelessly ridiculous, and he delivers a cautionary tale about what money can buy. Spoiler alert: a lot. Osnos is the winner of multiple Pulitzer Prizes as well as the National Book Award. In conversation with Ben Rhodes. Ben Rhodes is the former Deputy National Security Advisor for President Obama. He is a New York Times bestselling author, including the great After the Fall: The Rise of Authoritarianism in the World We Made ; an MSNBC contributor, and a co-host of Pod Save the World . Limited parking onsite. We recommend rideshares and carpooling. Please allow time to find parking. Did you know that you can make a fully tax-deductible donation?

Come and network with your friends, make new friends, and hear two amazing speakers. A buffet dinner will be served and drinks will be available. Free parking! Topic One: Practical Ways to Strengthen Your GRC Program The pendulum has swung to the opposite extreme and it’s time for it to come center. Our IT operations are full of “too much”. Too many tools. Too many unreferenced documents. Too much unmanageable data. Too many confusing controls from too many vague regulations and frameworks. Very few of these things actually align to our real operations. We have created all of this overwhelming noise and meanwhile are losing data at a ridiculously drastic rate. Let’s stop continuing to do the same things that got us into this mess and expecting different results. This session will bring us all back to best practice governance basics and provide attendees with three very practical recommendations that they can use the very next day. Speaker One: Karina Klever Karina Klever has spent more than 35 years in technology, starting in 1989 as a computer operator. After programming and decades of project/program management, she began focusing on compliance in the early 2000s. Over the next 20 years, Karina would go on to establish GRC Centers of Excellence for Fortune 500 companies. After years of witnessing compliance being implemented as nothing more than a checkbox exercise, Karina opened her own boutique company, Klever Compliance, to guide midsized companies into establishing governance programs that are appropriate for their particular industry, level of maturity, size, risk posture, and goals. Klever Compliance is tool agnostic and works across industries, maturities, regulations and frameworks. Checkbox compliance leaves gaping security holes, so Karina's approach is to align actual operations to controls, instead of the other way around. Topic Two: Cybersecurity and AI: Advancements, Workforce Impact, and Future Challenges AI isn't just changing cybersecurity—it's completely rewiring the battlefield. This talk exposes the hard truth about autonomous defense systems, AI-powered red teams, and attackers now capable of launching machine-speed campaigns that bypass traditional controls. We'll tackle the workforce earthquake happening as junior roles vanish and senior positions demand hybrid human-AI skills, while exploring why your sprawling security tool collection creates more vulnerabilities than it solves. Forget vendor hype—this session delivers actionable strategies for navigating the AI cyber arms race while preserving the irreplaceable human expertise that separates security victories from catastrophic failures. Speaker Two: R on Dilley Ron Dilley works at IS2 as a Principal Cyber Security Architect, focusing on fostering innovation and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in technology to deliver exceptional value for clients. He is also on the IANS Research Faculty. As a cybersecurity innovator, he works with many cross-functional teams to develop novel security solutions and enhance security capabilities that improve customer experiences while frustrating adversaries. He is a seasoned information security practitioner and thought leader with more than two decades of experience building, implementing, and leading information security practices responsible for the overall security posture and risk management of global companies. He is focused on security innovation, research, and development, and has overseen and revitalized infosec teams and advised on mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures from an infosec perspective.

Check out the sponsorship deck for more information About EnviroVoters California Environmental Voters is a nonprofit organization that exists at the crossroads of the environment and politics. Since 1972, we have a proven record of winning elections and passing environmental policies in Sacramento and DC. We believe the climate crisis is here and that this moment requires transformative change. California has the policy solutions to stop climate change but is lacking the political will to do it at the rate and scale that’s necessary. EnviroVoters exists to build the political power to solve the climate crisis, advance justice, and create a roadmap for global action. We organize voters, elect and train candidates, and hold lawmakers accountable for bold policy change. It is only through the support of our private organizational and individual donors that EnviroVoters can execute this critical mission. Your support will allow us to make progress towards our vision of resilient, healthy, thriving communities, and a democracy and economy that is just and sustainable for all.
