For Immediate Release


Empowering Today's Professional (ETP) Network gives back to the community by introducing high school students to social networking


Successful graduates of Cardinal Hayes High School collaborate to introduce student members of the Cardinal Hayes Investment Club to the art of making people connections through networking
Bronx, NY, March 4, 2008: Leopoldo Benavides, Secretary of the Cardinal Hayes Alumni Association, ensures student members of the Investment Club at Cardinal Hayes High School, in the Bronx, receive a well-rounded education by being exposed to various topics outside of financial strategies. Recently, members learned how to expand their sphere of influence in making connections with people through the art of networking. This engaging presentation was given by Rod Colon, Cardinal Hayes graduate and founder of the Empowering Today's Professionals (ETP) Network. After the presentation, Investment Club members shared their appreciation with Rod. "Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences and knowledge of networking. I value your lesson and will try to begin building more and more relationships" offered one of the students.

Over the last twelve months, a close relationship has developed between the Cardinal Hayes Alumni Association and the Empowering Today's Professionals (ETP) Network. The synergy has evolved thanks to the efforts of some Cardinal Hayes graduates and their active involvement in the ETP Network: Jose Despian is a lawyer, Frank Boughner, who was previously a guest speaker at an ETP networking event, is an educator, sports coach and President of the Cardinal Hayes Alumni Association, and Julio Barreto is a lobbyist and journalist. At a 2007 ETP Network event, Fr. Joseph Tierney, Cardinal Hayes High School President, spoke briefly about the importance of the Alumni Association's goal in attracting alumni from all ages back to the school and reminding them of their social responsibility for making the school better than graduates left it for the next generation of "Hayesmen". Rod Colon then built on that theme by stating "We have added to our goals that 2008 is the year of community service for our ETP membership. As a proud Cardinal Hayes graduate, I'm honored to be able to give back to a high school that provided me with a quality education, that contributed so powerfully to my success."
