Message From the President
|
|
Welcome back to Fall, to school, and to HRMA's "regular" programming year. Even though HRMA has planned and produced educational summer symposia for the last several years, September has always been the "start" of its year for meeting purposes. Don't miss this important meeting and networking/education opportunity. Our three summer symposia this year attracted capacity crowds and informed many of us on preventing identity theft, decision-making assessments, and OFCCP enforcement of affirmative action obligations. Many thanks to Fontbonne University and Linda Pipitone for hosting these sessions throughout the summer!
