Celebrating One of Our Own on the TEDxOrlando Stage

 

Good Afternoon PHCC Family,

 

I’m proud to share some exciting news with you all—our First Vice President and Past President, Mrs. Sandra Fatmi-Hall, has been selected as a speaker for TEDxOrlando and will be taking the main stage.

 

Many of you already know the impact she has had on this community and beyond. Through her leadership of the United Foundation of Central Florida, she has helped generate millions in economic impact, expand opportunities for youth and families, and strengthen communities across our region. Her upcoming talk will focus on the importance of intentionally developing young leaders and creating systems that support long-term success.

 

On a personal note, this moment means a great deal to me. As you all know, Mrs. Sandra has been like a second mom and a mentor to me. She has been an incredible advisor throughout my administration and someone I consistently lean on for wisdom, perspective, and guidance. Her leadership, advocacy, and commitment to people are truly unmatched.

 

This is a proud moment not just for her, but for all of us. It reflects the caliber of leadership connected to the Pine Hills Community Council and the United Foundation of Central Florida and the work we continue to do together.

 

Please join me in congratulating Mrs. Sandra on this well-deserved recognition. You’ll find the announcement graphic below—be sure to click the link to view the TEDxOrlando post and show your support by liking, sharing, and commenting.
