Meet the Management Team

Diane Raihle, President

Diane's experience in the career fair and the trade show industry began with Westech ExpoCorp in the early 80's in San Jose, California. Westech produced the most successful and largest career events in the world. As Director of Operations, she was instrumental in the success of the company in producing career events in markets throughout the country.

Later, in the position of Vice President of Operations at 1-Jobs.com in Independence, Ohio, she successfully increased profits and launched several new markets. Following the acquisition of 1-Jobs.com by BrassRing, Diane successfully integrated the two organizations, and drastically lowered operational expenses in their events division.

She was co-founder of NTE Expos, which is a major decorating company for trade shows in the Western United States.
