Local Headhunt for the Minority MBA & College Career Expo to be hosted at

“Local Headhunt for the Minority MBA & College Career Expo to be hosted at
the exclusive Wyndham Hotel Miami Airport”

Miami, FL-June 20, 2007--The Minority Chamber of Commerce one of the
nation’s largest Minority executive search organizations, will host second
annual MBA & College Career Expo in collaboration with dozens of
organizations and companies. The Expo will take place on Thursday, July 19,
2007 from 2:00 pm to 7:00 pm at The Wyndham Hotel Miami Airport located at
39 avenue and 3900 NW 21st Street, Miami, Florida 33142.. Register online
at www.minoritymbaexpo.com to gain access to some of the job opportunities
and careers offered on site.

According to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEO), “The
amount of women and African-Americans’ employed as “officials and managers”
has risen nearly 33 percent in the last decade. For Hispanic and Asian
managers, the number has grown more dramatically in representation with an
increase of more than 50 percent in recruiting over the past ten years”. In
response to the current demand for executive and other senior-level
diversified talent in corporate America, The MBA & College Career Expo is
an initiative to empower social mobility by providing opportunities not
easily accessible to minorities.

“The Minority Chamber’s career events provide an excellent opportunity for
employers to meet, personally screen and interview highly qualified
candidates for managerial and executive positions,” said Doug Mayorga,
National Director for The Minority Chamber of Commerce. “Our candidates
have higher skills and impressive educational qualifications compared to
other career fairs,” added Mayorga.

Headquartered in Miami, The Minority Chamber of Commerce is a non-profit
organization dedicated to assisting and enhancing business communities and
individuals across America by giving them business and work sources to
realize every person’s ultimate American dream. The Chamber is dedicated to
upholding a tradition of integrity, and social responsibility by empowering
people with independent decision making. Their unwavering mission is to
sustain, revitalize, and promote local economies in order to achieve
economic success. This is achieved by empowering individuals to fulfill
their maximum leadership skills and business capital abilities, which in
turn enables them to compete in the local and international marketplace.
