Dear Innovate@UCLA Members, Sponsors, and Participants,
As we approach the end of 2024, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to each of you for your unwavering support and active participation in our programs. This year has been marked by a series of successful and engaging events that have not only advanced our mission but also strengthened our community.
Our programming this year has been both impactful and enjoyable. The Top Golf CXO event provided a unique blend of networking and recreation, another event highlighted by the memorable opportunity to meet NBA legend James Worthy and receive autographed basketballs. We also delved into timely and critical discussions on transitions within the technology sector, offering valuable insights to our members. Our focus on AI use cases and strategies has been particularly pertinent, and we are committed to continuing these conversations into 2025.
The unwavering support from UCLA has been instrumental in our achievements. The formation of our CEO Advisory Board this year has further enriched our strategic direction and leadership. Additionally, the continued success of our Young Tech Professionals (YTP) program has been a source of pride, as we nurture the next generation of technology leaders.
Thank you once again for your dedication and contributions. Together, we have made 2024 a remarkable year for Innovate@UCLA, and I look forward to building upon this momentum in the coming year.
Warm regards,
Jim Rinaldi
Executive Director, Innovate@UCLA
