Executive Panel: Leveraging Human Capital During Difficult Times

The Capital Region Human Resources Association (CRHRA) will hold the next Monthly Meeting and Program on Wednesday, January 13, 2010.

CRHRA will kick-off 2010 with an HRCI approved dinner program and presentation titled Leveraging Human Capital During Difficult Times. The recession that has battered the U.S. economy over the past year has had a tremendous impact on New York businesses, its nonprofit sector and the State government. Join us for one of our most popular programs of the year, as we hear from three local leaders as to how they partnered with HR during the economic downturn to leverage their most valuable resource – human capital. This year’s three panelist include: James Reed, MD, President and CEO of Northeast Health; Raymond Schimmer, Executive Director of Parsons Child and Family Center; and Carol Ash, Commissioner of the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. The panel will afford Human Resources professionals in all industries with an excellent opportunity to compare and contrast the views of different leaders and help develop ideas and strategies to take back to their own organizations.
