The Edmonds College Foundation will hold its annual fundraising gala online April 21-24. This is the foundation’s second virtual gala since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2020 event attracted over 250 guests and raised more than $270,000 for student success. Funds raised this year will help the foundation continue providing scholarships, emergency funding and other investments in educational opportunities.
“The Edmonds College Foundation has continued to adapt and innovate throughout the pandemic to meet the needs of our students,” said EC President Dr. Amit B. Singh. “The second virtual gala comes at a time of great need, as students struggle to continue their education while navigating the many impacts of COVID-19.”

The demerger of Sime Darby in 2017 saw Sime Darby Property emerging as a new entity, with a clean slate to lay the right foundation for the business and create a brand-new blueprint to develop best work practices.
Since then, Sime Darby Property has undergone a massive transformation with HR playing a key role, backed by a strong, flexible and capable, 1,508-strong workforce which adapted to challenges along the way.
