AREA BUSINESS LEADERS TO GATHER MARCH 10 FOR
FREE CAREER BUSINESS NETWORKING EVENT
Top Executives and Area Business Owners to Offer Career Guidance and Job Search Counsel at Wilmington Riverfront

WILMINGTON (March 1, 2009) - Some of the Wilmington area’s most successful business people from a broad range of industries and professions will participate in a unique career networking event on Wednesday, March 10, from 5:30-7:30 p.m., at 1054 -1072 Justison Street, located in the former Vanity Fair store in the Shipyard Shops at the Wilmington Riverfront. The event is free and open to the public.

Sponsored by the Community Matters Networking Group, the Hispanic Business Association of Delaware, Delawareblack.com and the New Castle County Republican Committee, this is not a job fair, but rather a networking event geared toward providing valuable career advice and professional connections. It will provide a forum for job seekers, those in career transition and the underemployed to interact directly with area business leaders and entrepreneurs to learn how current economic conditions are affecting business hiring objectives and ask how best to navigate the difficult job market.

Advance registration (recommended but not required) and more information is available at www.nccgop.com.

“This career networking event will help attendees understand first-hand what local employers are looking for and understand what specific things they can do to advance their careers when hiring is down,” said Michael Fleming, chairman of the New Castle County Republican Committee. “Our goal is to present a unique opportunity for members of the community to meet and speak with business leaders who have been successful in a diverse range of fields and businesses or non-profits, and learn how they have adapted to succeed in the face of difficult challenges. We hope this will inspire attendees in job transition in addition to educating the public on how area businesses are coping in the current economic climate.”

Participants include senior executives from Wilmington Trust and Christiana Care, executive recruiters from Lee Hecht Harris, D.W. Schaefer & Co. and Cover and Associates. The owners, presidents and senior managers of AGS Printing, Union Park Automotive Group, Synchrogenix, Acorn Energy and the Speakman Company, and leaders from fields as diverse as retail sales, restaurant management, marketing/advertising/social media, health and fitness, insurance, legal, financial management and the non-profit sector will also be on hand. Other successful, mid-sized area businesses and career counselors will also be available to attending networkers.

What: Career Networking Event with Area Business Leaders
When: Wednesday, March 10, 2010
Time: 5:30-8:00pm

Please join us for the last Wilmington Region meeting of the year on Wednesday, December 9 at 6:30 p.m.  We’ll be holding the meeting in the upstairs room of  Wilmington’s newest restaurant, The Public House, at 9th and Market Streets.
Also, pursuant to our Region’s bylaws, we will be holding officer elections.  If you have any interest in serving in any capacity — Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary or Treasurer — please feel free to contact me.  I know that several of you have expressed interest in taking on larger roles with the Wilmington Republicans. 
 
As I have discussed with many of you, I do not intend to run for reelection as Chair.  I have enjoyed every aspect of this endeavor over the past year and a half; it has been a real pleasure to work to build the party regionally and to have been a part of a series of victorious campaigns this year.  However, I believe that it is time to pass on the reigns so that I can embark on new projects in 2010.
 
Warmest regards,
 
Rick Carroll
