Networking for Puerto Rican Professionals

July 25, 2008:

“¡Yo Soy Boricua! Pa’ Que Tú Lo Sepas!”.

Boricua, Borincano, Borinqueño, Puertorro, Puertorriqueño... By blood or born place, they all mean the same: a love for Puerto Rico like there's no other place in Earth!

Boricua Network is created for the Puerto Ricans professionals disseminated around the world who would like to be reconnected with old friends and family in a website that will help her/him to develop a career or business in a friendly and effective way.

The Boricua Network is an on-line, worldwide community of people brought together by a common bond — a shared love for Puerto Rico “La Isla del Encanto”. Whether you were born in the Island, your parents or your friends are Puerto Ricans, the Boricua Network is for you!

Create a Blog, have your own webpage, post comments in the forum, send video postcards, up-load pictures of your job promotion and introduce to your fellow Boricuas that fabulous project that you have been working for all to know and review. All that and more is Boricua Network!

Click this icon iconApplications.gif for more details.

The site is FREE to everyone who comes here. You still have to join (register as a FREE Limited member) to be able to view the Blogs, post comments, add calendar events, watch videos and hear audios posted here. However, to take advantage of the BEST features that the site offers, a small monthly fee of $10 is required to be a FULL member.

Finally, as everything in life, to enjoy this Site, you need to follow certain rules. So before you enter in this "casa" be sure to know, as our mom used to call it, "La cartilla".

So, what are you waiting? Check it out!

"¡Bienvenido a casa, Boricua!"
