TDI Presents "The Unwritten Guidelines for Success In College"

On August 13, 2009 at Alabama State University, TDI presented a workshop entitled "The unwritten guidelines for success in college." This workshop was part of a partnership formed with Alabama State's Student Orientation Services (SOS) organization and was offered as part of festivities for the Fall 2009 Freshman Orientation Week. It was the first of many throughout the country aimed at inspiring young professionals to dream big and obtain the support and guidance they need along the way to make that dream a reality. The unwritten guidelines covered by TDI included Discipline, Relationships, Execution, Attitude, Motivation, and Sacrifice. Using a panel setting, TDI presented to approximately 1,000 incoming freshmen and awarded two students with $250.00 scholarships for their participation in the workshop. "From speaking to students afterwards, we felt that many students left motivated and empowered," Marc Desgraves, President of TDI states.

TDI Offers Support

In February 2009, members of TDI rallied together and raised money to support the needs of two families in Talladega , AL affected by a tragic event that claimed the lives of four young teenage girls with promising futures. Many of TDI’s members are from Talladega and collectively the organization felt a call to action was needed. Although small relative to the overall need and suffering experienced by the families, TDI’s prayers and donations were delivered open-heartedly. This action exemplifies three of TDI’s seven core values: God first, family second and giving.
