09 Feb ME&A Sponsors SID-Washington 2021 Virtual Career Fair
ME&A was one of three main sponsors for the 2021 Society for International Development (SID)-Washington Virtual Career Fair on Feb. 5, 2021. SID-Washington is the Washington, D.C., chapter of the Society for International Development, and the annual event took place virtually for the first time this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
ME&A ran a live broadcast channel that featured interviews with ME&A President and CEO Thomas England and eight other members of the ME&A team throughout the day. ME&A – along with more than 40 other international development organizations – also staffed an opportunities booth featuring one-on-one chats with ME&A recruiters and web-based information on the company and current openings. Both ME&A’s broadcast channel and opportunities booth featured a welcome video welcoming participants and explaining how ME&A has adapted to continue domestic and international operations remotely during the pandemic.
More than 900 entry- and mid-level candidates visited the virtual career fair over the course of the day, representing more than 40 countries and students from more than 50 universities. ME&A was represented by Director of Human Resources Lizette Salvador, International Talent Acquisition Specialist Kendell Brown, Vice President for Marketing and Business Development Dr. Loren Schulze.
ME&A is a long-standing member of SID, a non-profit organization composed of individuals and institutions concerned with sustainable international development. ME&A has served as a sponsor for SID-Washington’s annual career fair and annual conference for many years.
