Meetings & Events

Currently our program meetings are held Virtually online. Typically we meet on the second Thursday of the month, from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM.  

On occasion, our meeting time may be changed or extended, so please watch the website and our newsletters to be sure you have the correct time for our programs.

In 2021, we will hold our 37th Annual Employment Law Update (ELU) in October in place of our regular monthly meeting. This year it will be an Interactive Virtual Event taking place over two half-days! Specifics on the dates and times will be announced through our ELU section.  We make every attempt to have all of our programs pre-approved for both SHRM PDCs and HRCI credit hours.

There will be no regular meeting in November or December. However, keep an eye out for a Holiday Networking Event.  If you have any questions about our meetings, please feel free to contact us at [email protected]
