Alvarado started her "unplanned career" in construction working in construction as a laborer for a landscape company in college. She then worked as an on-site contract administrator for a commercial development company on large planned-use projects.
Attendees can look forward to learning more about how she went from starting a curb, gutter, and sidewalk concrete firm into expanding its construction expertise and capabilities into a large construction company. Alvarado also made history in 1991 by becoming the first Latino owner (male or female) of a Major League Baseball franchise, the Colorado Rockies. We look forward to hearing more of this trailblazer's accomplishments.
Another keynote speaker at the convention will be held during a luncheon program on Sept. 29, where Mauro Guillen from Wharton School. Guillen teaches in its flagship Advanced Management Program and many other courses for executives, MBAs, and undergraduates.
Guillen was just recently appointed the next Director and Dean of Cambridge Judge Business School. His online classes on Coursera and edX have attracted over 100,000 participants from around the world and during the conference, he will talk about how today's biggest trends will collide and "reshape the future of everything."
