Dear HACE
Members and Friends,
Fall is now
upon us and as with the magical phenomenon of the leaves changing
colors, we too at HACE are introducing some changes to
our newsletter's appearance. We hope you like our new format!
If you
are currently seeking new career opportunities, HACE has numerous
events or programs that should interest you. Additionally, we
have several new job postings that have been placed on the HACE
website by our Corporate Members and other leading companies. We
encourage you to take a look at these as all of these companies
are sincerely looking to fill these positions with Latino
professionals like you. We have made it easy for you to apply by
just clicking and your resume is then directly forwarded to the
employer if you are a current HACE member.
