About The Human Resource Council

The Human Resource Council's goal is bringing current trends and tools to attract and retain a talented workforce through education and leadership development. The Council provides an opportunity for HR Professionals to discuss employment related topics, exchange ideas with their peers and receive professional development and training. We are in charge of creating engaging events, informational workshops and addressing recent legislative changes/requirements. Some of the topics for discussion include recruiting, termination policies and employee incentive and retention programs.
