New York, NY – February 25, 2009, Asian Diversity, Inc., the leading career resource that specializes in connecting Asian American professionals to multinational corporations and government agencies, is holding its Eighth Annual Asian Diversity Career Expo at Madison Square Garden in New York City, on May 1, 2009.  The event is always held in May to celebrate Asian Heritage month and support the professional development of Asians and Asian Americans in today’s growing workforce.

Last year, over 4,000 job seekers of Asian descent attended the Career Expo along with 86 exhibitors from top Fortune 500 companies, federal, state and local government agencies, and non-profit organizations. 

Carolyn Cummings Altemus, National Director of Diversity & Executive Recruiting at Boy Scouts of America says,

"The Asian Diversity Inc. Conference and Career Expo were awesome!  The guidance, service and support from the staff were outstanding...they were accommodating and superior in customer service prior to as well as at the conference…. I highly recommend participation in this event if your company or organization is serious about diversifying their talent pool.  Working with Asian Diversity Inc. is an honor and a pleasure." 

This year’s conference and career expo is expected to be bigger and better than ever.  Special feature events will include résumé counseling and the first ever Graduate School Expo, designed to serve as a gateway for the thousands of college graduates who are considering an MBA, M.A/M.S., Law, or other graduate degree to meet and learn about opportunities from representatives of some of the nation’s top graduate schools.   

“I am thrilled to bring this event back to New York City and continue to provide a vehicle for corporate America to outreach to Asian American professionals,” says ADI’s Founder and President, Jino Ahn.  "There are countless job fairs designed to recruit African Americans and Latino Americans in this country, but this is the only event of this magnitude that provides a forum for Asian American professionals to meet corporate recruiters who are specifically seeking them as part of their diverse workforce."
