[Langley] Strategic HR Forum (in person)

Fraser Valley, SHR Forum Hosts, Jennifer Lowe, CPHR & Catherine Von Heidenberg, CPHR will lead a conversation over dinner at the Sandman Signature Langley Hotel. 
 
We are asking registrants to bring their "hard rocks" either by emailing us in advance or impromptu at the in-person dinner session. These are the things that are on your mind a lot. 
 
This will be a roundtable discussion of shared experiences. Registration is limited to 20 members of the SHR Forum and includes a dinner, juice/pop, coffee or tea.
