The I am London Launch Party was a huge success!

The I am London Launch Party was such a fun way to kick off this year's campaign! We want to sincerely thank everyone who came out!  

To start the evening, there was a short presentation.  Mayor Matt Brown brought us greetings from the city.

London and Middlesex Local Immigration Partnership Project Manager, Huda Hussein told us a little about about what the LMLIP is and what it does.

Inclusion and Civic Engagement Sub-Council Chair, Rose Aquino spoke briefly about how the campaign fits into the broader goals of the ICE sub-council.

Campaign Coordinator, Kelly Barnes, talked about what I am London is and what the goals are for the campaign.

Then we had the pleasure of honouring our 2013 Faces of London, 2014 Faces of London, and finally introducing our 2015 Faces of London.  We were delighted to have many of this year's and previous year's Faces with us for the evening.  We kept the program short, because we wanted the focus of the party to be on making connections. 

It was so great for all of our Faces of London, members of the LMLIP, and other guests to meet each other, but also get to mingle with Mayor Matt Brown, Deputy Mayor Paul Hubert, and Councillor Mo Salih.  The mood in the room was very cheerful and happy.  There was so much good conversation and laughing that we had a hard time quieting people down, to start the program.  Maybe the best indication that the night was a success, an I am London selfie!

Thank you to everyone who came out and made the night great! Thank you to Mayor Matt Brown, Deputy Mayor Paul Hubert, and Councillor Mo Salih for coming and showing the support of the city.  Thank you to all of the current and former Faces of London.  Also, thank you to the London Photography Group for photographing the event.  All photo credits in this post go to them!  You can see all the images from the Launch on their Facebook page or on ours.
