Executive Development Institute’s (EDI) 2010 benefit dinner and auction, “Inclusion Fusion,” will be held from 5-9 p.m. May 20 in Seattle.

The Bellevue-based organization will have four renowned cooks from the Pacific Northwest create innovative dishes based on the original flavors of Hispanic and Asian cultures.

Featured chefs include Diego Castroviejo, executive chef at Taberna del Albardero; Joey Serquinia, executive chef at Harvest Vine; Sam Ung, executive chef and owner, Phnom Penh Noodle House; and Dalis Chea, executive chef of Herban Feast.

EDI, a non-profit leadership institute, will be expanding its programs to additional ethnic groups. Last year, EDI introduced a leadership program tailored for Hispanic participants in addition to its long-established programs for Asian-Pacific participants.

EDI’s vision is to be the preeminent leadership institute where corporations and organizations seek diverse global leaders.

SODO Park is located at 3200 First Ave. S.
