- Edwin,
Welcome to the LatPro Network! We just created a new group for those in the management field, and I thought you may find participation in that group to be beneficial http://network.latpro.com/group/management
Welcome to the LatPro network!
LatPro was launched in 1997 to become the very first job board connecting Hispanic & bilingual professionals with recruiters. We still lead the field, consistently ranking among the top Internet job boards. Now you can join our professional network. While this is designed for you to connect with new people who share your interests it's not for soliciting or promoting any business opportunity - please ask for clarification if in doubt.
