Team TAG pumped after National Conference in Atlanta

Team TAG attended their US National Conference held this year at the Hyatt in downtown Atlanta, Georgia. After flying in on Friday afternoon and enjoying the sights in the city, the team enjoyed networking mixers, motivational speakers, and educational workshops all weekend.

This year's general session speaker was wrestler Anthony Robles.  Despite being born with only one leg, Robles trained and persevered to win a NCAA championship during his senior year at Arizona State University.  The theme of his talk was "Unstoppable" and spoke about the various challenges he faced and how he overcame them.

In addition to speakers and workshops, the team took home some much deserved awards.  The admin team, Manilynn Disuanco and Ellesse Wong, took home Tiffany's jewelry for being in the top 10% in the nation.  Team TAG President, Jaime Hepp, accepted the Million Dollar Club Award on behalf of the ICL accruing over a million dollars in revenue last year.

Overall, the conference was a huge success as an opportunity to connect with fellow business professionals, enrich our selves and become even more pumped up to hit our goals for the rest of the year!

Charity Poker Tournament

On Sunday, March 25, TeamTAG held it's 2nd Annual Charity Poker Tournament raising money for Operation Smile.  The event brought together a group of motivated, young entrepreneurs with a passion to give back to the community.

 The rain didn't stop us, we moved the tournament indoors!

With each player donating $20 to buy in, half the pot was donated to Operation Smile.  While additional funds were raised selling  bahn mi sandwiches to the hungry poker players prepared by Team TAG's very own Helen Davidov.  Over $250 was raised to help children born with facial deformities, such as cleft lip and cleft palates,  receive safe and effective reconstructive surgery.

"It's cool because you get to help the children out, make money, eat food, and show everyone you are the #1 poker player in the office," says winner, Mac Bunnag.

 Aykut Eren doesn't look too happy for winner, Mac Bunnag.

The event was a huge success thanks to then planning and preparation of event organizer, Mac Bunnag.  Big thanks to Helen Davidov and her family who graciously let TeamTAG use her home and cooked delicious Vietnamese sandwiches.  Thank you also to Manilynn Disuanco who did a fantastic job of bookkeeping and keeping track of all the financials.

All of this would not have been possible if it wasn't for the TeamTaggers who spent their time off on a Sunday to give back to the children. TeamTAG is constantly involved in the community and we look forward to the next awesome philanthropic event these studs put on!

Venice YPS hosts Networking Event

Rachael Dickhute & Manilynn Disuanco

Two of our Leaders, Rachael Dickhute and Manilynn Disuanco, teamed up with the Venice Young Professionals Society last week in Venice to attend "Purely Social".

The mixer included a group of entrepreneurs and young professionals from industries including TV and film as well as fashion, sales and banking.
The attendees enjoyed drinks and hors d'oeuvres while mingling with other members and planning future events and fund raisers.
The event and society are designed to create an easy way to network with people in and outside your industry but in the same geographical area. The intent is to find the next representatives and leaders in the community.
There will be upcoming events with the society and they encourage members to join with the idea to build a social base in their local communities and be a part of future charitable events.

This is one of the many great ways to build your resume, gain exposure in the community & have a blast while surrounded by other people motivated by leadership!
