It is our pleasure to invite you to the 2010 Virginia State SHRM Conference to be held at the beautiful Hotel Roanoke & Conference Center in Roanoke, Virginia on September 29, 30 & October 1, 2010.

Given the complex business challenges of the last 2 years, we're sure you'll agree that success as an HR Professional has required unusual creativity, an abundance of talent, and vision. Thus, this year's conference theme ... "The Fine Art of HR".

This year we plan to focus upon a variety of critical Human Resource issues to include Talent Management, Diversity, Legal considerations, and Technology to name just a few. We are excited about the abundant Leadership, Learning and Developmental opportunities this year's conference will offer. And, of course, you will have the opportunity to meet and network with over 500 of your colleagues from across the state.

Our Conference Committee has worked thoughtfully to assemble a program that will be both educational and entertaining. Featured speakers and activities will include:

Eric Wahl -"The Art of Vision"; Dr. Jarik Conrad – "Just Like Fine Wine: Cultural Emotional Intelligence"; Andrew Savitz – "The Triple Bottom Line: What's Your Role"; Lisa Haneberg – "The Art of Talent Development"; and Sharlyn Lauby – Social Networking. In keeping with our artistic theme, we will also enjoy an elegant reception at the Randall Stout designed Taubman Museum of Art. This event will also include a networking reception in support of our many fine sponsors and vendors.

We truly look forward to seeing you and are confident you will enjoy this year's conference. Our goal is that when you leave, you will be better educated, more confident, and genuinely excited about the many challenges and rewards our profession provides. We expect you will make many new friends and contacts in the process.

We are proud to welcome you to the Roanoke Valley and if there is anything we can do enhance your experience at the conference, we encourage you to contact us.

See you in September!
