Traditionally one of the largest events of its kind, the Louisville Career Expo targets adults who are 18 years of age or older, and it is free to the public. The event offers companies these opportunities: 1) face-to-face meetings with large numbers of qualified job applicants; 2) diversification of their workforce; and 3) relationship building to further promote a company’s objectives and mission.  Participation in the Expo is also appropriate for colleges and training providers seeking to connect individuals to higher education and skills certification programs for career advancement. 

The Louisville Urban League is bestowing its highest recognition...the Arthur M. Walters “Champion of Diversity Award”...to health professional Ruth W. Brinkley. Ms. Brinkley is President/CEO of KentuckyOne Health and Senior Vice President of Operations, Catholic Health Initiatives. She will formally receive the award at the Louisville Urban League’s “2015 Mardi Gras Bash Celebrating Diversity” on Saturday, March 7, at The Henry Clay, located in Louisville. 

The Champion of Diversity Award recognizes outstanding achievement by an individual, business, or organization in the promotion of diversity within the Louisville community. The award is named in honor of Arthur M. Walters, who served as Executive Director of the Louisville Urban League from 1970 to 1987 and was also an early civil rights activist. 

The nine monthly sessions are divided into three core areas: Self-awareness, Leadership Skill Development and Tactical Skill Application. Programming includes reading, film studies, dialogue with discussion and analysis, exercises related to the workplace, and tools participants can take with them after each session. ULAS offers participants the opportunity to self-initiate a mentoring/ coaching relationship with an accomplished African American executive.
