An Officially Sanctioned Block Party for Peace Event

@ the Block Party for Peace

May 27-29, 2011

Our team at ABetterMemphis.com understand that individually we are a "work in progress" and career development is "work-ing progress", while job creation  in our community and workforce development creates community "work and progress". - Antonio Parkinson, Founder/Director of ABetterMemphis.com


Memphis Peace Week is a two week period of service, celebration and education to community. 
During Peace Week, we deliver quality events, forums and initiatives that provide information and other tangible benefits to the citizens of our communities. 

To culminate Memphis Peace Week, ABetterMemphis.com presents the annual Block Party for Peace.  Nestled inside of the Block Party for Peace are its core events, one of which is the Work ~N~ Progress Career Fair.  The Work ~N~ Progress Career Fair is arguably Memphis’ fastest growing and largest job and college fair.  In its fourth year this event is poised to serve attendees of the Block Party for Peace with multiple career related offerings from college enrollment and workforce development to employers accepting applications on site. 

We ask that you partner with us by providing sponsorship for this year’s event. Last year’s career fair vendors and sponsors had access to over 15,000 attendees.  The expected attendance at this year’s event is in the thousands.  Join us at Work ~N~ Progress Career Fair where opportunity abounds!
 
We thank you for your support!
