Howard University African Business Club 2010 African Business Conference
Corporate Sponsorship Package The Howard University African Business Club (HUABC) is a subsidiary of the Howard University African Students’ Association (HUASA). For the past 23 years, the Howard University African Students’ Association has played a key role in rallying young college students and professionals in the United States in promoting the African image through its various informational, social and educational events. These events have not only historically drawn a large number of Africans in the Diaspora seeking to proactively play a role in the development of African countries; they have also served as a means of educating the foreign community on the African experience. Continuing its campaign for African development, the HUABC will be hosting her second annual African Business Conference aimed at raising awareness on the developing business landscape in African countries with a particular focus on highlighting business and economic successes in the African continent, and the booming sectors and career opportunities existing for young professionals in the Diaspora with interest in pursuing career options on the continent. By drawing on these informational needs as expressed by many successful and enterprising young professionals, the Howard has put together a three day conference on February 25—27, 2010 that will feature successful and influential individuals with expertise on the African business landscape. These business leaders will play a pivotal role in highlight the growing investment, entrepreneurial and career opportunities in developing countries on the continent. The Howard University African Business Club and the African Students’ Association aspire to be a conduit for developmental changes in Africa and will continually leverage their large African student population in provoking and highlighting such changes.
