CEO & Co-Founder, MinorityProfessionalNetwork.com
C.J. Bland is a stand-up guy.

While some are prone to sit back, throw up their hands and complain at the lack of opportunities available, C.J. Bland prefers to make things happen. And he’s not just out for self; rather, he believes in serving his brothers and sisters.

The president and co-founder of the Minority Professional Network is convinced that while you’re busy pulling yourself up by your bootstraps, you might need a shoulder or two to lean on. That’s where his Web site comes in handy. In existence for less than four years, MinorityProfessionalNetwork.com is “a global marketing portal that has attracted over 2 million visitors” in that amount of time, says Bland. The site “focuses on providing content, information and resources to help build relevance, value, benefits or interests to culturally diverse professionals.” Those who log on can find plenty of assistance in terms of job announcements, event listings and professional organization postings.

This isn’t Bland’s first foray into publishing such valuable information. The past local president of the National Black MBA Association, actually started a local publication in 1998 called the Atlanta Info Connection, which printed press releases and announcements targeting minority professionals. Eventually, a sister publication—Job Info Connection—was born as a result.

But beyond easing the job search, Bland is committed to helping others discover their life’s purpose. “At the end of the day, you can’t really count on corporate America to provide total fulfillment to you because very few people are going into jobs and staying there indefinitely,” he says. “So I think that it’s very, very important to focus on your passion.” -rodney carmichael ro logo
