ANOTHER GOOD CAUSE

Yvonne Dornic, head of eSentio Technologies, creates what my friend Russ Curtis calls "a blueprint for living an engaged life."

Every year at ILTA, she hosts a party to thank her clients and colleagues. But it's not just a generic convention soiree. Dornic manages to orchestrate a memorable evening that includes entertainment that educates (the Orlando School of Cultural Dance); a silent auction to benefit a good cause relevant to our tech community  (The Youth for Technology Foundation that assists African youngsters); and a showcase for a local chef (Russell Scott). And she always manages to find a very elegant and unusual venue (Isleworth Country Club. Home club of Tiger Woods.)

Dornic carries that aforementioned textured blueprint into her daily life, not just the eSentio annual party. She runs not only the technology consultancy, but one of the very best restaurants in Baltimore - Ze Mean Bean Cafe. Of course, it's not just a terrific restaurant, it also presents nurtures culinary talent -- in typical Dornic style.

Congrats to Yvonne and the entire eSentio team for yet another unique and fabulous evening. She is a true inspiration.
