How do you feel about meetings? I’m sure there is a range of emotions when you even hear the word “meeting.” They range from ones you look forward to and others where you cringe when the appointment hits your inbox. Meetings are inevitable. It’s how people communicate whether we like them or not. The question is – how do you make meetings worthwhile?

Now, pardon the irony in this, but I’m inviting you to the February HR Roundtable (a meeting) to talk about meetings. However, it will be worth it, I promise. Make plans to come discuss next month’s topic – “Meetings Don’t Have to Be Awful !!”

We’re going to gather on Tuesday, 2/6/24 from 8:30am to 9:30am. We’ll meet at Scarlet Oaks in the Annex next to the High School Cafeteria. (directions are below)

In order to gauge how effective my “meeting” is going to be, I’d ask you to respond and send me an email to RSVP at: sbrowne@larosas.com so I can get a handle on how many folks are attending. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

Thanks – Steve

Instructions for the HR Roundtable at Scarlet Oaks:

• The HR Roundtable is open to one and all !!  The meeting has an HR/Business focus each month and we get together to discuss that topic as well as network.  So, if you’re in HR, are a small business owner, are a resource partner who works with HR folks, a professional in transition, etc. – you are welcome to attend the Roundtable !!

• The “dress” for the Roundtable is business casual. We’re not very formal and you’ll be fine however you dress. It’s more important to have you come and attend the forum.

• Please come in and sign in for the Roundtable.  Note that if you go to any other Great Oaks door, you’ll be asked to have a picture ID and you will receive a Visitors badge as part of their security system.

• Chances are I’ll be outside to greet you and welcome you to the Roundtable so you can find the right door to come and join the forum.

• If you’re someone in transition, feel free to bring five (5) copies of your resume to put out at our Resume Table. Make sure to staple them if you have multiple pages.
