Renee over at LatinFocus.com wanted me to share this information with my readers!
The National Hispanic Entrepreneurs’ Organization officially the launch of their exciting new Ambassador Program along with a November 24th Fundraising Event. Though NHEO offers a wide range of developmental initiatives for minority entrepreneurs, their Ambassador Program will specifically focus on leadership development and the importance of community involvement. Each volunteer will become involved in activities that include public speaking, facilitating host and discussion groups, and work to be a liaison between NHEO and their local community.
The deadline for all National Hispanic Entrepreneurs’ Organization Ambassador Program applications is December 31st 2009. If accepted each ambassador will become a full representative with the organization for a period 10 months. Ambassadors will learn to become “the person to go to” for the area that he or she is representing, and will also be responsible for providing direct feed-back to the NHEO initiative.
In conjunction with the dynamic program launch NHEO is also presenting their first “Cocktails and Conversation Fundraising Event” on Tuesday, November 24th, 2009. The free event open to the public which is giving everyone an opportunity to meet and mingle with NHEO members and supporters. The even will take place from 6:30pm to 10:00pm and be located at Cosmos Café Balantyne in Charlotte North Carolina.
The event will feature chances to:
- Learn more about NHEO’s Ambassador program (Leadership Development).
- Learn about the NHEO Boot Camp and NHEO Challenge programs.
- Learn about procurement opportunities in NC funded by the stimulus package.
A silent auction will be held to raise funds for NHEO giving attendees the chance to get goods for great prices while helping out the cause. At the end of the event there will even be salsa dancing!
