We are lucky to have Catherine Schinkel on the program at the upcoming HR & Leadership Conference speaking about the "People Behind the Dream" at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. With so many people contributing to the success the museum has seen so far, there are just as many questions to be answered.
We want to know what questions you have for Catherine. Please take a minute to think of what you would like to hear her speak about relating to the HR department at the CMHR. Feedback received will help shape the content of the session. Email questions to lkruschel@hrmam.org and they will be passed along to Catherine.
