HR Association: Roundtable Discussions
(Asheville, NC): The next regular meeting of
the Western North Carolina Human Resources Association will be
at 12 noon on Wednesday, October 13, at the Renaissance Asheville

At the October meeting instead of a

participate in roundtable discussions. Each roundtable will have a
facilitator who is responsible for keeping the discussion moving and
will provide information as requested by the participants. The six
roundtable topics are: NC Domestic Violence Law/Workplace Violence;
Performance Management; Government Programs to Assist Employers; FLSA
Issues and Concerns; Generational Diversity in the Workplace; and
ADA/FMLA/WC Leaves of Absence.
The program is open to
members, students and anyone interested in learning more about human
resource-and management-related issues. Reservations can be made by
emailing Mike Neely at
mneely@ingles-market.com, or by calling 669-2941, extension 310.
The cost of attending the lunch meeting is $16.00 for members and
students, $20 for nonmembers, and includes lunch (a vegetarian option
is available by request when making reservations).
The Western North Carolina Human Resources
Association is a certified chapter of the Society for Human Resources
Management, and is comprised of human resource and other professionals
from various area businesses and industries. The purpose of the
association is to develop the personnel function in each participating
company by close contact and cooperation with others in the same
field, to facilitate the dissemination of information of value to
human resource professionals individually and collectively, and to
promote positive human relations principles.
