New Partnership: National Association of Women MBAs and IvyExec.com

New York, NY, March 12, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Working toward the advancement of women in the workforce, the National Association of Women MBAs and IvyExec.com have joined forces to bring new career opportunities to highly qualified professionals. The two organizations have partnered to help expand their common mission: Propelling professional women to positions of power within leading corporations. The strong participation of professional women within Ivy Exec’s network provided the motivation to establish a formal partnership with NAWMBA, an organization whose origin can be traced back to 1984.

In 2009 the partnership was kicked off with a series of co-created professional development opportunities for MBA professionals. Thanks to the input of leaders such as Tonya Olpin, Executive Director of NAWMBA and Elena Bajic, Founder and CEO of Ivy Exec, the two organizations will launch a Webinar Series beginning in March.

“It is obvious that the job market has turned extremely competitive. Both our organizations understand that giving our members the right tools is the most valuable advantage we can provide. In addition to our exclusive job openings, these tools can certainly make a difference”, says Alex Baranpuria, Business Development Associate at Ivy Exec.

The webinars will be open to members of both organizations, as well as non-members. The webinar topics will transcend gender and are as diverse as the unique issues that affect top talent today. The next four online events are detailed below:

1. “Working through the Transition” - Job Reentry in the 21st Century – March 24th
