📸 FREE PROFESSIONAL HEADSHOTS AT THE AI & OPPORTUNITY EXPO!

We’re excited to announce another resource available to participants at the AI & Opportunity Workforce Empowerment Expo!

Professional photographer Sean Twomey of 2MEPhoto has generously volunteered to provide FREE corporate headshots for attendees. Thank you, Sean, for investing your time and talent in helping our job seekers put their best professional image forward!

A strong headshot can make a real difference on LinkedIn, professional profiles, websites, and other career materials—particularly for people working to reintroduce themselves to the job market.

This fits perfectly with what we're trying to accomplish at the Expo: giving people practical resources they can use immediately to help get back on their feet.

In addition to their complimentary headshot, participants will have access to:

💼 Employers and career opportunities
🤖 Hands-on AI assistance to tailor resumes to job descriptions
🔗 LinkedIn optimization and networking strategies
🏠 Housing and supportive resources
🤝 Community and workforce organizations

📅 Thursday, September 3, 2026 | 4:00–7:30 PM
📍 Oakland City Hall – Hearing Room #3

Space is limited, and we are prioritizing unemployed job seekers experiencing housing instability or at risk of losing their housing.

Thank you again, Sean and 2MEPhoto, for stepping up for our community!
