Free inspirational seminars are targeted to Caribbean- and African-American communities in South Florida and New York
NEW YORK – The second annual Evenings of Excellence series, supported by Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, is being planned for the fall in South Florida and the New York metropolitan area.
Slated for October 21, 2014 (Miami/Fort Lauderdale) and November 12, 2014 (New York City) from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., the two evenings will feature presentations from Caribbean author, economist and motivational speaker Zhivargo Laing, who delivers an inspiring message of personal empowerment and economic prosperity, as well as other well-known personalities and leaders from the media, entertainment, business and government sectors.
The overarching theme for Evenings of Excellence will be building and leveraging the intellectual, financial, spiritual and cultural strength of the Caribbean- and African-American communities.
“Wells Fargo is committed to diversity and inclusion, and we look forward to strengthening our relationship with Caribbean- and African-American communities in these two very important markets,” said Cerita Battles, senior vice president and head of retail diverse segments at Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, announcing the company’s support for the 2014 series.
These events, which are free to the public, will serve as a platform for discussing serious, topical issues, but they will also be fun-filled and enjoyable, with musical entertainment and several Caribbean destinations and hotels offering prize giveaways.
“What we started last year was very inspirational and the messages shared with participants have the potential to positively impact large communities across the country,” said Battles.
The Evenings of Excellence series is also supported by Marketplace Excellence, the Caribbean Media Exchange (CMEx) and Finn Partners.
