South Florida NSHMBA Kicks Off 2008 Calendar of Networking Events
MIAMI – February 14, 2008 – More than 200 Hispanic MBAs attended the 2008 Kick-Off Celebration of the South Florida Chapter of the National Society of Hispanic MBAs (NSHMBA), marking the start of another year of career development, educational advancement and fantastic networking opportunities.
The Kick-Off, one of the year’s most popular membership events, gives up-and-coming Hispanics and Hispanic MBAs the opportunity to meet, network, and open doors to new opportunities.
“This is what NSHMBA is all about,” said South Florida Chapter President Victor Cuesta. “Our chapter helps Hispanic MBAs achieve success in business and provides career – and even financial – assistance to Hispanics seeking a graduate education. We build relationships that will help our members shatter that glass ceiling.”
Held at the Country Club of Coral Gables on January 31, the Kick-Off was sponsored by TotalBank and Chivas Regal. Cuesta and other South Florida Board members took the opportunity to share some of the Chapter’s considerable accomplishments in 2007, as well as its ambitious goals and scheduled events for 2008.
“Among our upcoming events are the Florida International University Just-in-Time Hiring Career Fair, open to FIU Alumni and NSHMBA members on February 15. Through events like these, the South Florida Chapter of NSHMBA continues to fulfill its mission of fostering Hispanic leadership through graduate management education and professional development in order to improve society,” Cuesta told the gathering.

I personally want to thank everyone for attending the South Florida's Kick-off Event at the Coral Gables Country Club. We certainly couldn't have done this without our sponsors Total Bank and Chivas Regal for their support. And if you missed it, you will have to check out our next event coming soon!
