HR Southwest

Joe, Shannon, and I will be attending the HR Southwest Conference in Ft. Worth. We will be out of the office Monday through Wednesday, but you should see plenty of blog updates from us right here.

We will start live blogging from conferences, trainings, and seminars. I sure hope this works!
