Young Audiences Gala 2014

November 14, 2014 | jarred@ya.org

 

At this year's Young Audiences Arts for Learning Annual Gala, we are thrilled to honor Robert E. Knowling for his tireless work in the community and for providing inspiration to countless young people to embrace education and strive for success.  

Robert E. Knowling Jr., Chairman of Eagles Landing Partners, is renowned for his expertise in leading large organizations through periods of dramatic transformation. He has over 30 years of experience in the telecommunications and technology sectors, leading companies through periods of high growth and organizational turnaround.

In 1999, Mr. Knowling was awarded the Wall Street Project's Reginald Lewis Trailblazers Award by President Clinton and the Rev. Jesse Jackson for his efforts in developing a national agenda for the spirit and mission of inclusion, opportunity, expansion, advocacy, and success in the workplace for women and people of color in the high-tech industry. He is also the author of the book, You Can Get There from Here, a biography of his inspiring road to success.

Please join us for what promises to be a very special evening to celebrate the accomplishments of the past year and support our mission to inspire young people and expand their learning through the arts.
