2011 Conference Wrap
With the support of Commissioner Mark Butler, the Georgia Employer Committee Executive Board was once again able to sponsor an outstanding conference featuring a number of Georgia’s best and brightest speakers.
Conference sessions addressed top labor law issues, leadership skills, the importance of soft skill training in today’s educational and workforce arenas as well as a special meeting regarding Georgia’s Unemployment Insurance program and legislative proposals. All of the above topics were chosen by employers and were highly rated by conference attendees.
Several awards were presented to the most outstanding committees in the state including:
Committee of the Year, presented to the Middle Georgia Employer Committee;
Project of the Year presented to the Rome/Floyd-Gordon Employer Committee;
Community Service award presented to the Columbus Employer Committee.
Keynote Speaker, Tony Charaf received Excellent reviews from all conference attendees as he addressed “What makes a Great Leader in today’s business climate.”
Although conference attendees were kept busy attending sessions all day, there was still time for networking and having fun with their peers by taking part in the first Georgia Employer Committee “Great Race” golf cart team building event.
Many thanks to Commissioner of Labor, Mark Butler and the Executive Board of the Georgia Employer Committees for sponsoring another successful conference.
2012 State conference details will be forthcoming soon.
