Meeting Topics
Providing professional development opportunities on a regular
basis for our members and guests is extremely important to our
association. Some of the meetings we hold address changes in
laws that affect our work and to better understand, interpret, and
implement policies. Some address the pesky, but weighty,
issues that we must resolve in our daily interactions with
employees. Some are designed to support our strategic
management goals.
We include at the bottom of this web page examples of meeting topics that our
members have had the opportunity to participate in and glean
information from each month.
We welcome suggestions for future topics from our members as we
strive to present worthwhile discussions of topics interesting to
human resources professionals. Please submit your
event suggestions directly to any of your association
directors.
