The number one PR in New York, Ms Raine (www.myspace.com/msraineinc.com), gave me this press release I would love to share with you. I think it is a wonderful event to attend to celebrate young, gifted and black positive contributors to the society. I will be attending, so maybe we can network!
New York, NY (Ms. Raine Inc.): Under The 'Continued Pursuit of Success' motto, The NetLinkz Group, Inc., celebrates African-American History Month with the third installment of the Young, Gifted & Black (YGB) Entrepreneurial Awards, honoring outstanding, and often pioneering, African-American businesses and business owners on Wednesday, February 27, 2008 at LOLA Is Soul in New York City.
With honorees from the medical, fashion, entertainment, and civil service sectors, Netlinkz Founder/CEO Carl Gray maintains that the YGB Awards stands out as one of the few accolades for enterprising individuals making positive impacts in their industries and communities, often under the radar of popular media. In keeping with the community aspect, Gray has changed the nominations process, making all nominations external, as opposed to being selected internally as was done in previous years. This year's YGB ceremony features Lorraine Cortes-Vazquez, Secretary of State of New York as an award recipient & key note speaker.
