Special Thanks to Guest Speaker Ruby Glass

Texas HR Pros' training program attendees on May 23, 2013

On Thursday, May 23, Ruby Glass of Near Northwest Management District was a guest speaker at Houston's Job Search Strategy Program at Second Baptist Church.

We invited Glass, because the Near Northwest Management District recently awarded Texas HR Pros with a Community Service Award for volunteering and speaking at their annual job fair also benefiting WorkFaith Connection. Marvin Martin of Texas HR Pros and Second Baptist Church's Career Connections is a strong supporter of WorkFaith Connection and encourages HR professionals to volunteer for them and perform mock interviews.

Glass gave her MBA and commerce experience advice for job seekers, which was well-received because her organization represents 300+ businesses in Houston.  She also made a compelling speech at the end of the class about working with ethical and Christian principles, and she had a fan club approach her after the meeting.


During her free time, Glass is a minister and instructor for New Harvest Christian Church.  She teaches Christian business owners who desire to apply Kingdom Principles to starting and running a business. She has an upcoming business series beginning on Saturday, July 6, at New Harvest Christian Church.  For more information and registration, see  http://kingdomclassy.eventbrite.com/ or email KingdomClassy@gmail.com.
