HR Pulse - Fall 2007 - (Page 75)

CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS A New Kind of Regional Breakfast This year, the Sunday morning Regional Breakfast gives you an opportunity to begin the conference experience with your closest peers—colleagues in your own region. Hosted by your new regional consultant, this activity-packed event includes a welcome for conference newcomers, special recognition for chapter award winners, an update on your region’s 2007 activities, and an overview of the conference. Bring your business cards for this amazing networking opportunity! The ASHHRA Centre for Excellence After a successful inaugural year, the Centre for Excellence will once again be a featured part of the ASHHRA exposition. This year, the Centre offers attendees more opportunities to engage in knowledge-sharing conversations with ASHHRA committees, board members, and colleagues. Sit with colleagues in a cozy conversation pit to discuss advocacy issues with the AHA experts, local topics with your regional consultants, and opportunities for learning and teaching with members of ASHHRA committees. Meet members of the ASHHRA Board of Directors and find out about ASHHRA opportunities-in-leadership. Pre-Conference Special Interest Sessions Two special learning tracks are featured as Saturday pre-conference sessions. The Healthcare HR Basics Boot Camp Track, facilitated by ASHHRA Regional Consultants, gives new-to-the-profession HR practitioners a basic overview of HR Pulse Fall 2007 75 HR processes, competencies, and best practices. The Healthcare HR Leader Track challenges seasoned HR professionals to go to the next level of their HR leadership journey through experiential learning. A two-day Healthcare HR Leader Track offers participants the option to attend Quint Studer’s Opening Ceremony keynote address on Sunday. Call to Serve the Community The ASHHRA conference outreach activity embodies the HR Leader Model core competency of Community Citizenship in the most heartfelt way because it involves children. Attendees can give back to the local Anaheim community by contributing to the Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) Radio Lollipop Program. Radio Lollipop, a hospital-based radio program promoting the healing power of play through music—provides smiles and laughter to children at a time when they need it most. Opportunities to donate will be available at the Opening Ceremony and during exhibit hall activities leading up to the Monday evening outreach event. (See page 18 for full story.) Panel Discussions On the last day of the conference, enjoy a stimulating early morning panel discussion learning session. Practitioners from healthcare and other industries share experiences, stories, and best practices in three important HR arenas: legislative activities, workforce diversity, and great places to work.
