Eugene Chamber Events

WorkTrends 2008, presented by the Eugene Area Chamber of Commerce and Lane County Human Resources Association, is a one-day conference for business owners, managers, supervisors, and human resource professionals won’t want to miss!

Join us Wednesday, Nov. 12, at the Hilton Eugene&Conference Center from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Don’t miss this year’s keynote speaker, nationally renowned author and consultant Peter Block! Using the premise of his most recent book, “Community: The Structure of Belonging,” Block will discuss how to create a new sense of community through both leadership and change. He will provide insight on the conditions under which transformation occurs and define the type of leadership that can make those changes last.

Additionally, the daylong conference will feature sessions from both Deborah Reedal and Meri Justis. Reedal’s session, “A Coaching Approach for Business Communications,” will help participants dissolve barriers that get in the way of effective communication in which interpersonal relations are vital. Justis’s session, “Getting a Seat at the Table and Using it Wisely,” will help human resource professionals communicate with company leaders and managers more effectively, while having their voices and opinions heard.

For members of the Eugene Area Chamber of Commerce or the Lane County Human Resource Association, cost is $159, and $179 for nonmembers. The registration fee includes admission to the keynote address, workshops, continental breakfast, lunch, refreshment breaks and networking. 

Attention! If you are a certified human resources professional through HRCI, you may apply your attendance at this conference toward 6.5 recertification hour credits for PHR, SPHR or GPHR.
