HRP-MN’s recent conference called “From Surviving to Thriving…Lessons from the Past…Advice for the Future” was a great success. The training event for HR Professionals was held at the Ramada Hotel in Bloomington, MN on April 13, 2011. HR Professionals received 4.25 credits toward certification for their participation.

The former HRP-MN Presidents included Brenda Devlin, Philomena Morrissey Satre, Janice Downing, Joel Krueger, Max Pegors, Maureen Rehfuss, Debra Dorgan, Beth Gilbertsen Betts, Cecelia Keenan, Becky Bjorgum and Mary Ellen Leary.
More than 120 HR Professionals participated in the all-day event along with 27 sponsors. Presentations included keynotes and panel discussions. Following is a summary of the highlights from the conference:
Feedback received was very positive including this comment by Karen Gureghian, this year’s HRP-MN President, “I thoroughly enjoyed the day and I really appreciate the work from everyone to make this event successful.”
