Your participation in the April 21 Hiring Heroes Career Fair is an important step in assisting injured service members in their search for job opportunities. The 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. timeframe is scheduled to allow for maximum convenience to our injured service members so that they can meet their medical appointments, physical therapy appointments, military duties, AND still be able to attend the career fair. Due to appointments, some individuals may not be able to get to the event until the afternoon. To give them all the assistance possible, we ask that you do not break down your booth before 3:00 p.m. Your cooperation is much appreciated.
