CEI 2023 Innovation Gala

We had a magnificent night at CEI’s 2023 Innovation Gala honoring Lewis Bernard and the founders of Read to Lead. The digital learning platform that has already helped millions of students will continue to help countless more with their career aspirations.

The iconic Richard Gilder Center for Science, Education, and Innovation at the American Museum of Natural History was the perfect venue to reflect on the past year’s work and the boundless optimism we have for the future. As a founding Board Member of CEI, Richard Gilder is very much an omnipresent force. He was someone who cared immensely about the future of New York City and understood the transformative power of education.

The unwavering dedication of our founders, honorees, and board members to assist our nation’s public-school students remains a beacon that illuminates the work we do every day.
