NSHMBA BREAKS
ATTENDANCE RECORDS AT THE 13TH ANNUAL NATIONAL CONFERENCE & CAREER
EXPO
Success
permeated throughout the Valley of the Sun as the National Society
of Hispanic MBAs (NSHMBA) welcomed 5,200 attendees to the 13th
Annual National Conference & Career Expo from Nov. 7-9.
 The conference theme, “Strategic
Positioning: Grow People & Business to Take Flight,” set the
foundation for the Conference and the two-day Career Expo, as 230
corporate and academic sponsors convened at the Phoenix Civic Plaza
Convention Center to recruit top talent.
The conference, whose Lead Sponsor
was the Intel Corporation, launched several initiatives such as the
Marketing Pavilion, the Conference Daily and the Mission Award. For
the first time, Dell Computer sponsored the Marketing Case
Competition, in which eight schools participated, and Emory
University emerged as the winner, clinching not only the title, but
also complimentary laptops and interviews with the corporate
representatives.
 Approximately $615,000 was awarded to
173 scholarship recipients who were honored in a special Scholarship
Luncheon, which included an award ceremony for the top three $15,000
scholarship winners: Alfredo J. Botty, Coca-Cola Company Scholarship
Recipient; Carlos Omar Gonzalez, Procter & Gamble Scholarship
Recipient; and Maria del Pilar Rivera, PepsiCo Scholarship
Recipient.
The
Conference culminated in the presentation of NSHMBA’s most
prestigious honor, the Brillante Awards, to the six outstanding
recipients: Intel Corporation, Corporation Recipient; McCombs
School of Business at University of Texas, Educational
Institution Recipient; Society of Hispanic Professional
Engineers, Not-For-Profit Recipient; Angelo Figueroa,
Managing Editor of People en Español, Corporate Executive
 Recipient; Salvador Gomez, President and CEO of Source One
Management, Entrepreneur Recipient; and Raquel
Santiago-Martinez, NSHMBA Member Recipient.
The 3-day event included a Career
Expo, Career Development Seminars, Hispanic Leadership Plenary,
Marketing Case Competition, Special Interest Workshops, Résumé
Clinic, Scholarship Recipient’s Luncheon, Brillante Awards Ceremony,
and much more.>
