Marlene Sholod, president of Access to Experts, Inc., a Miami-based speakers bureau, has been invited to attend the 2008 World Diversity Leadership Summit held at the United Nations headquarters in New York.

Her bureau has provided one of the event's speakers, Alyssa Dver, an expert on corporate social responsibility.

Another of her speakers, Douglas Freeman, is the producer of the event and an expert on diversity and the bottom line. 

Sholod, formerly an executive with The American Management Association, a global training organization, and with one of the largest federally funded refugee training programs in New York State, has also trained for the U.N.

About the internationalization of Access to Experts, she says, "We have seen a growing demand for speakers, trainers and consultants on  topics such as diversity, leadership, strategy and innovation, which are often, by their nature, global."
