This national event will celebrate and honor the exceptional achievements of Haitian American young professionals across the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This year\u2019s gala promises to be an unforgettable evening of glamour, excellence, and unity. Attendees will enjoy powerful keynote speeches, riveting entertainment, and unparalleled networking opportunities. Back by popular demand, <strong>Valerio Saint Louis<\/strong> will once again take the stage as the Master of Ceremonies, ensuring an evening filled with elegance and energy. Haitian musical powerhouse <strong>T-VICE<\/strong> will headline the entertainment, delivering their signature blend of Kompa music, and keynote speaker <strong>Kwani Lunis<\/strong> will inspire with a compelling address, alongside a dynamic lineup of other influential speakers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Amid the celebration, the gala comes at a crucial time for the Haitian community, both in the United States and abroad. With ongoing deportations, abuses in the Dominican Republic, and false allegations against Haitian migrants in Ohio and other states, this event stands as a beacon of hope and resilience. The Haitian American community continues to rise above adversity, and this gala serves as a powerful reminder of the excellence, leadership, and contributions of Haitian Americans nationwide.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;We are excited to showcase Haitian excellence, especially now when the world needs to see the beauty, intelligence, and strength of our people,&#8221; said <strong>Dr. Hans Patrick Domercant<\/strong>, President and CEO of the U.S. Haitian Chamber of Commerce. &#8220;With the negative narratives circulating about our community, it&#8217;s more important than ever to uplift and celebrate our successes. This gala is about changing the conversation and showing the world what we are truly capable of.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">One of the evening&#8217;s highlights will be the presentation of the <strong>2024 U.S. Haitian Chamber Patriotic Award<\/strong> to <strong>Elsie Saint Louis<\/strong>, Executive Director of <strong>Haitian Americans United for Progress (HAUP)<\/strong>, for her lifelong commitment to empowering the Haitian immigrant community. Under Ms. Saint Louis&#8217; leadership, HAUP has led a multi-million-dollar capital campaign, earned the support of New York State and city governments, and been recognized for its extensive contributions during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;The work Elsie has done through HAUP, particularly for the Haitian community in the New York Tri-State area, is nothing short of remarkable,&#8221; said <strong>Emmanuela Romain-Amedee<\/strong>, Board Secretary of the U.S. Haitian Chamber of Commerce. &#8220;We are proud to honor her tireless efforts to serve the underserved and uplift Haitian families. She has exemplified the very best of what it means to be a leader, a servant, and a proud Haitian American.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ms. Saint Louis&#8217; extensive accomplishments include founding <strong>Love and Serve Haiti Mission (LASH)<\/strong>, which fosters community empowerment through education and entrepreneurship in Haiti. Her leadership has earned her numerous accolades, including features in <strong>The New York Times<\/strong> for her commentary on Haiti&#8217;s recovery post the 2010 earthquake. A pillar of strength and compassion during the pandemic, HAUP provided cash assistance, education, and resources to combat food insecurity and support vaccination efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The gala will not only celebrate Haitian achievement but also foster connections and opportunities for future collaboration. With networking sessions, business spotlights, and keynote speeches, this event is a platform for both personal and professional growth. <strong>VIP tickets are already sold out<\/strong>, but regular tickets are still available for those who want to be part of this momentous occasion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;We are deeply grateful to everyone who has already purchased tickets and shown their support for this cause,&#8221; added Romain-Amedee. &#8220;This is not just a celebration\u2014it is a movement to uplift our values, showcase our achievements, and rewrite the narrative for Haitians everywhere.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For more information or to purchase regular tickets, please visit <strong><a style=\"color:

and create empowering environments for all associates. Born to Haitian parents who immigrated to Boston in the late 1970s, Sherrine is the first in her family to graduate from college, holding degrees from Boston College and Harvard University.<\/div>\n<div id=\"v1AppleMailSignature\" dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"v1AppleMailSignature\" dir=\"ltr\">At Fidelity, Sherrine has developed innovative solutions that support the company&#8217;s 70,000+ associates, with a particular focus on accessibility for individuals with seen and unseen disabilities. She actively participates in global initiatives, including Fidelity&#8217;s sponsorship with Disability:IN, to promote disability inclusion and equality in business. Her leadership in Fidelity&#8217;s Black and Latino Employee Resource Group, ASPIRE, has led to the creation of mentoring programs that have significantly benefited nearly 900 members, primarily from marginalized backgrounds.<\/div>\n<div id=\"v1AppleMailSignature\" dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"v1AppleMailSignature\" dir=\"ltr\">Sherrine&#8217;s personal journey and professional dedication are deeply influenced by the tragic loss of family members in the 2010 Haiti earthquake. This event reinforced her commitment to service and leadership, driving her to uplift communities, including Haitians, women, and other underrepresented groups. In addition to her corporate role, she volunteers at local Haitian adult daycare centers in Boston, giving back to her community and continuing her mission of empowerment.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n\t\t<\/div><!-- .lhea-modal-post_contents -->\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .lhea-modal-contents -->\n\t\t<\/div><!-- .lhea-modal-container -->\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"lhea-modal-6618-6574\" class=\"lhea-modal-container lhea-modal-right zoom-anim-dialog mfp-hide lhea-color-flatui\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"lhea-modal-contents lhea-boxdesign-style-8  lhea-team-young-entrepreneur-of-the-year-2024\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button href=\"#lhea-modal-6618-6574\" class=\"lhea-close-modal\"><i class=\"fa fa-times\"><\/i><\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lhea-modal-picture\">\n\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ushaitianchamber.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Valerie-YE-scaled.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ushaitianchamber.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Valerie-YE-scaled.jpeg 1707w, https:\/\/www.ushaitianchamber.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Valerie-YE-200x300.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/www.ushaitianchamber.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Valerie-YE-683x1024.jpeg 683w, https:\/\/www.ushaitianchamber.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Valerie-YE-768x1152.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.ushaitianchamber.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Valerie-YE-1024x1536.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ushaitianchamber.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Valerie-YE-1365x2048.jpeg 1365w, https:\/\/www.ushaitianchamber.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Valerie-YE-270x405.jpeg 270w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1707px) 100vw, 1707px\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lhea-modal-picture-hover\">\n\t\t\t\t<!-- Member name -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"lhea-modal-name\">Valerie Francois<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<!-- Member position-->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"lhea-modal-position\">Floral Designer | Event Designer | Event Planner<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div><!-- lhea-modal-picture -->\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lhea-modal-post_contents\">\n\t\t\t<p><strong>Valerie Francois<\/strong> is a seasoned event planner and founder of The Social Butterflies, a full-service event planning company she started in 2017.
