NIRI San Diego Presents: 'Career Flow: Moving In, Up, or Out of a Career in IR'

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- The San Diego chapter of the National
Investor Relations Institute (NIRI San Diego) will host a lively panel
discussion on investor relations career transition and development on
Wednesday, November 18, 2009. In today's economic climate, it is not uncommon
for Investor Relations Officers - or those considering moving into or out of
investor relations - to examine and polish their skills so they are prepared
for planned or even unexpected career transitions. NIRI members, guests, and
professionals from related fields like finance, accounting and communications
are invited to join us as we host a panel of seasoned current and former IROs
who have made the leap into related and non-related corporate and
non-corporate roles.

The panelists will include: Julie Cunningham, former SVP of IR at Qualcomm,
now chef/owner of Glass Mountain Inn in Napa Valley; Nadine Padilla, former VP
of IR and Corporate Relations at Biosite, now owner of her own consultancy,
Nadine Padilla, LLC.; Chris Schwartz, former director of IR at AMN Healthcare,
now the Controller at AMN; Ingram Losner, Managing Partner & CFO with Proven,
Inc. as the guest moderator and host.

A networking reception will begin at 5:00 p.m., followed by the discussion
from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. at AMN Healthcare, 12400 High Bluff Drive, San Diego,
CA 92130. Admission is $45 for members and $60 for non-members if
registration is received before 5:00 p.m. on Friday, November 13. The cost
for late or on-site registrations is $55 for members and $70 for non-members.
