The Chamber and the Chippewa Valley Society for Human Resource Management (CVSHRM) will present its seventh annual Human Resource Conference specifically geared for human resource professionals, small business owners and managers.

This program is valid for 5.50 PDCs toward SHRM-CP and SHRM-SCP recertification.
Welcome and Opening Keynote: 8:00 a.m.-9:00 a.m.
The conference will begin with a keynote presentation from Jim Morgan, Vice President of Member Experience for MRA on trends and opportunities for HR professionals in 2019. Talent attraction is like the weather...everyone is talking about it but no one can do anything about it...or can they? All over the upper Midwest, employers and human resources professionals are grappling with attracting, developing, and retaining talent. Jim has been working on that issue for 30 years. He helps employers understand that demographics are driving their troubles and provides solutions for talent acquisition based on best practices. Jim will also look at where we are at in HR today, what’s coming in 2019 and what is keeping HR pros up at night. This opening session is a “can't miss” opportunity!
