Marilu Rios Kernan, cofounder and Chief Marketing Officer of College Admissions Assistance, and a board member of the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce, was recently appointed Chair of the Education Committee for 2010-2011. “I am so grateful to have this opportunity to work with some of the best minds in the fields of education and business; together, I know we can make a positive difference toward helping our students thrive in today’s economy and meet the challenges of the future!”
Committee members have developed specific goals and plans, and are in the process of refining and integrating them into the Chamber of Commerce’s Program of Work, which will be released in July. Ms. Rios Kernan is enthusiastic about the influential team of educators she will be working with in the coming year, including Alberto Carvalho, Miami Dade County Public School System Superintendent; Sister Linda Bevilacqua, President of Barry University; Dr. Sandra Thompson, President of Florida Memorial University; and Dr. Thomas LeBlanc, Provost and Executive Vice President of the University of Miami. “Everyone on this committee is passionately committed to making sure the kids in our community have the opportunity to get a world-class education. After all, education is not only the key to the prosperity of the local community, but also the national and global community.”
