|
Posted By: Kerri Gwinn Harris on June 26, 2007 ST. LOUIS --- KGHarris & Associates, LLC, premiere training and development consulting firm established in 2004, today announced the hosting of the third anniversary diversity and empowerment career fair on Wednesday, September 5, 2007 at the Embassy Suites-St. Louis Airport Hotel. KEYS TO THE EXECUTIVE SUITE DIVERSITY & EMPOWERMENT CAREER FAIR (C) was established in 2005 as an extension of KGHarris & Associates, LLC flagship diversity training initiative to empower prospective women and minority professionals to achieve personal career success. According to Kerri Gwinn Harris, founder/chief executive officer of KGHarris & Associates, LLC and organizational diversity expert as quoted in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch (January 25, 2006), "The need for addressing “new age” diversity issues in the workplace is now. Corporate settings where women and minorities are only given leadership roles in human resources and corporate affairs (departments) need to take a deep look at their diversity practices.” "Organizations seeking to develop best practice diversity models must first employ an inclusive approach in their recruitment, hiring, and promotion practices. In addition, organizational board of directors and executive suites must reflect the workplace at large if true organizational diversity practices are demonstrated.” "We are committed to empowering professionals through face-to-face networking exchanges and interview opportunities leading to long term career employment with top U.S. employers through KEYS TO THE EXECUTIVE SUITE DIVERSITY & EMPOWERMENT CAREER FAIR, while creating a heightened awareness of diversity best practices within our participating organizations," says Al Benson, chief operating officer and senior vice president of development of KGHarris & Associates, LLC.
