Sports Jobs: Second Annual MLB Diversity Business Summit

sports jobsMajor League Baseball and the Houston Astros will co-host the second annual MLB Diversity Business Summit on June 19th at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston.

The business summit will provide those who attend with numerous opportunities to socialize with executives from all 30 MLB Clubs, MLB Network, MLB Advanced Media, Minor League Baseball Clubs and MLB’s Central Office.

This opportunity will allow sports job seekers to network directly with decision-makers for employment and business opportunities at Major and Minor Clubs, as well as those from MLB media entities.

The agenda for the event will include a keynote speech by Baseball Commissioner Allan H. (Bud) Selig, league-wide networking, exhibit floor access, workshops and executive roundtable discussions.

“Diversity is essential to our sport and remains a core priority of Major League Baseball,” said Selig.

“Major League and Minor League rosters reflect players of many different backgrounds throughout our game.  Away from the field, the MLB Diversity Business Summit is a key platform, allowing us to offer unprecedented networking access to talented individuals who are interested in baseball careers and business opportunities.”

Astros owner Jim Crane was also excited about the event.
“Diversity is vital for MLB, the Astros and the city of Houston to thrive.  We are proud to co-host this year’s MLB Diversity Business Summit,” said Crane.

The first MLB Diversity Business Summit was co-hosted by MLB and the Chicago White Sox in 2012, and attracted more than 800 registrants from across the US.

    A�But in fact, the history of Legos toys dates back many more years.
    Almost everyone can probably recall playing with them
    as a child, putting together figures and taking them apart without any regard for
    what they were doing. Lego has responded by
    making several kits so that all these fans can
    build till their hearts are content.

    If the party has been organized to celebrate holidays including
    Christmas, it can be anything but logical that dinnerware and flatware of Christmas theme are selected as well as the table decoration
    can also be set likewise. This produces a ply of silver which is up to two times harder and 4 times more impervious to to tarnishing than
    conventional silverplating. With a lot more than a century of experience in silver item making at their belt, Gorham silver flatware has intricate designs and
    dedication to quality is simply few from the reasons of why they share a bigger
    part of the market.

    especially for the lucky few were money is no object.
