Posse D.C. Power of 10 Raises $100K

This past October, Posse D.C. hosted its annual Power of 10 fundraiser in Washington, D.C.

Eun Yang, a news anchor at NBC4 Washington and a member of the Posse D.C. Advisory Board, returned as the emcee of the event.

The Power of 10 raised more than $100,000. The night also honored alumni speaker Tae Youn Kim, a Brandeis University Posse graduate, for his commitment to Posse’s mission of building a diverse and inclusive workforce. Now a managing director at Iron Point Partners, Tae is a longstanding supporter of Posse D.C., serving on the Leadership Council and as a volunteer for the Dynamic Assessment Process, Posse’s unique selection method.

In his speech, Tae referenced a question his wife, Samantha, posed to him—What if Posse didn’t exist? How might Tae’s experience at Brandeis University and professional career have turned out?

“I know I would have worked very hard and done the best I could—but life without Posse? Let’s just say that I’m glad to be living in the present,” Tae said in his remarks.

“I’m a firm believer in the mission of this wonderful organization, and I’m a tiny hint of evidence that Posse truly changes lives for the best.”

Tae credited the Posse Career Program as a key resource, recalling that it connected him to a summer internship at Goldman Sachs that later led to a full-time job offer from the firm. It was a colleague at Goldman who then introduced Tae to his current employer, Iron Point Partners.
