Whatta May! Check out the solid recap of API Heritage Month from our API EAG co-chair Dina Canlas Bean. A special thanks to Dina and Jennifer Allen for planning an impactful month of programming for employees with more to come throughout the year!
May flew by in a whirlwind of badass summer product launches (HELLO French press, Tropical Pink, Big Wave Blue!) and a month packed with API Heritage Month celebrations. We kicked-off with a month-long BINGO challenge for all of YETI to educate, explore, and support different aspects of API heritage, and hosted a Blue Wave Boba Beach Party All-Hands. Boba by Teaspoon Austin and summer jams provided by King Pelican. We also had thoughtful lunch and learn with one of our newest hunting ambassadors Samong Yang and hosted YETI PRESENTS: Tengu Screening and Chat Hilary Hutcheson. For Community Lunch, Chef Rene Helit from The Cultured Chefs served up a Guam-inspired menu. In the throws of the month we also hosted a API Happy Hour with snacks, appetizers, drinks, and lechon from local API restaurants and caterers - big ups to Nima Michael Astani and Christine Abuel Pompa for slicing and dicing our lechon this year and the incredible Jessica Mewis for braving stormy weather to get all of our happy hour goods to campus. After a spicy EAG Hot Ones Challenge with our CEO and Senior Leadership Team answering mild to burning questions, we closed out the month with a Modern Health Circle Session in conjuncture with Mental Health Awareness month. A special thanks all of our members and volunteers of our amazing EAG that helped create and host these magical events. Jessica Mew, PMP, Desiree Hunter, Vijay Vembuli, PMP®, CSM®, Talib Abdullahi, Amanda Gerards (she/her/hers), Anthony Toppi, John Natividad, Jacob Drees, @Alice Du, Eddie Pratumtip, our fearless champion Pompa, and my API EAG Co-Chair Jennifer Allen. We have more in store for YETI and can't wait to keep 2024 going.
