Are you a professional, community builder, or social entrepreneur looking to create meaningful change in the world?

Then join us for our upcoming Spotlight Dinner featuring Leslie Dong, former President of the Beijing Women’s Network (BWN); storytelling and pitch coach; and serial entrepreneur.

Having lived and worked across six countries and fluent in three languages, Leslie has navigated different cultures, setbacks, and career transitions while building initiatives focused on social impact. Along the way, she developed a storytelling approach that helped her secure over 2.3 million RMB in grants, fellowships, startup competitions, and awards to support ideas and projects she believes in. Her most notable awards include being a Boren scholar, a Fulbright grantee, a finalist to the Huntington Public Service Award, and a winner of WeWork China’s inaugural Creator’s Award for $72,000 USD.

Now she’s on a mission to use her storytelling skills and experience to help others turn their story into new initiatives and funding. Join us to hear her story!
