ATLANTA -- Lucas Group, an executive search firm, co-hosted its sixth Executive Diversity Career Fair April 19, 2006, at the Embassy Suites in Chicago with The Wall Street Journal's CareerJournal.com.

Some of the participating companies included Ernst & Young, Aon, Alzheimer's Association, Fitch Ratings, UBS, Boeing, ConAgra, Owens Corning, Crowe Chizek, Walgreen's, General Electric, AC Nielsen, Harris Bank and Zurich North America. Participating companies met with interested candidates in private suites to discuss job opportunities.

"Our goal is to provide an avenue in which qualified diverse talent can meet in a comfortable atmosphere with hiring managers from companies around the nation. The positive results and relationships that come from this event are a testament to the diversity needs in the marketplace."

"We get great satisfaction from our ability to introduce highly qualified diversity candidates to employers who are eager to meet them," said Gail Griffin, general manager, CareerJournal.com. "As more companies realize that hiring a diverse executive team gives them a competitive advantage, they turn to CareerJournal.com as the best source for identifying and recruiting those candidates."
