For more than 20 years, she has invigorated a variety of audiences and is an authority on sparking innovative ideas, handling conflict, reducing stress and energizing employees.

The ASHHRA Resource Center, located in the registration area, can provide you with materials that will let you take some of the conference learnings back to the office. Stop by and take a look at the publications available, then place your order through the online ASHHRA19 Resource Center.
