SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. - The Inland Empire Women's Business Center at Cal State San Bernardino will hold a Direct Sales Expo for people looking for a supplemental income, career change or flexible working hours, and vendors looking for new representatives.

The expo will be held today, Tuesday, Oct. 27, from 6-8 p.m. at the center's office, 202 East Airport Drive, Ste. 155, in San Bernardino. It is free and open to the public.

Direct Sales Expo participants will be able to meet with a variety of vendors all in one evening and get information on how to start a direct-sales business.

The center is also inviting vendors who currently have a direct selling business and are looking for representatives for the expo, which is not a selling event. The expo is intended to connect vendors with individuals who are seeking full-time or part-time income opportunities.

Vendors will be able to rent a booth for $40, have their information listed in the expo program and meet with the more than 100 career-seeking individuals expected to attend. The center also plans to avoid direct competition between the vendors as only one representative will be allowed per participating company.

The Inland Empire Women's Business Center is a program of the Inland Empire Center for Entrepreneurship at Cal State San Bernardino in partnership with the U.S. Small Business Administration.

The IEWBC provides business counseling, training and mentoring designed for women business owners. The program provides targeted services to Latina business owners (currently the fastest growing group of women-owned businesses in the country) by providing services in English and Spanish.

The Inland Empire Women's Business Center's hours are Monday-Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays by appointment only. The center also has a part-time outreach office in Corona.
