We have so much in store for #ASHHRA16 attendees today! Start your day off right with Sunrise Yoga, then join your colleagues for Regional Breakfast. You won’t want to miss the Opening Ceremony and Keynote Presentation, followed by invaluable time in the Exhibit Hall complete with lunch. In the afternoon, you have numerous opportunities to earn CEUs during two blocks of Learning Sessions. After an afternoon of learning and
sharing, we’re going to kick it up a notch and invite everyone back to the Exhibit Hall to enjoy the Grapevine Get Together. You’ll have another chance to talk and engage with poster presenters in the Texas Breakout Foyer, then we’ll cap the night at the SkillSurvey Social Event with a true Texas hoedown!
We hope that you make the most of an amazing day ahead!

 One of the wonderful things about coming together each year at the ASHHRA Annual Conference & Exposition is the opportunity to celebrate the best of our profession. One such celebration is the awarding of the prestigious Gary Willis Leadership Award (GWL), in memory of Gary Willis, an ASHHRA board member who passed away in 2010 after a battle with cancer.
Co-sponsored by ASHHRA and AHA Solutions, the award recognizes mid-level managers and directors who have made outstanding leadership and operations contributions to their organization, presenting the honoree with a $2,500 scholarships for health care HR education.
This year's award was presented to Lotus Yon, CHHR, at the Saturday evening Welcome Reception. Yon is manager, training programs & HR projects for Chicago-based Northwest Community Healthcare. An active volunteer and advocate for our industry, Yon has served as chair of ASHHRA Learning and Education Committee since 2015 and also authors the blog OD Advocate. If you see Lotus here in Grapevine, give her a big congrats!
