TWEF International is proud to announce the inaugural TWEF Financial and Career Expo to be held on October 7, 2016 during the 10th Annual International Financial and Leadership Summit at the JW Marriot Galleria. City of Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner will serve as this year’s Honorary Chair and invites Houstonians to experience direct economic empowerment through prominent and influential individuals from all over the world.

“I am impressed with the TWEF’s commitment to helping women, men and youth from all walks of life to achieve their full potential. A perfect example of the work they do is the upcoming 10th Annual International Financial and Leadership Summit”, said Mayor Turner. “Whether just starting out, in need of a second chance or working to maintain an established career, there is valuable information to be gained from connecting with and hearing about the experiences of others. It can be the difference that takes someone to the next level. I am delighted to serve as honorary chair of this year’s event.”

Event co-chairs including Vice President Donald Bowers of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas’ Houston Branch, Senior Vice President of Public Affairs and Community Development Irvin “Irv” Ashford, Jr. of Comerica Bank and District Safety and Community Relations Compliance Manager Roderick Brown of UPS will join Mayor Turner in welcoming more than 1,000 visitors to the expo.

The expo will offer mentorship through workshops, networking opportunities and live job recruitment from vendors and event sponsors including Microsoft, UPS, HEB, Prudential and Comerica Bank. Career opportunities will be available for sales, industrial, education, healthcare, technical, commercial and customer service industries. Attendees will also have access to the “One-Stop NOW” booth for the opportunity to get resumes reviewed and submitted to potential employers.
