Dear Colleague:

Welcome to the ASHHRA Region I Conference. Join us for three (3) days of ­exciting and stimulating learning and networking opportunities. As we evolve as HR professionals, our influence and impact are more significant than at any other time in our industry's history.

The theme of the 2007 ASHHRA Region 1 Conference is HR EVOLUTION: HR Triage-How Will You Operate in the Future? Our program will include both general sessions and concurrent professional development sessions that focus on human ­resources practices that bring energy and spirit to the workplace. We wish to thank the many members of ASHHRA chapters throughout New England who have come together to plan a conference we know will provide new insights and lasting value.

Special thanks to the co-chairs of our conference committees:

   Ed Fiander & Amy Janell, Professional Development Committee
   Tom Girard & Mark Manin, Exhibitors/Business Partners Committee
   Glenn Alonzo & Bob van Heiningen, Finance Committee
   Mary Lou Beaulieu & Tracey Witkowski, Hospitality Committee
   Dan Arseneau & Jerry Marstaller, Golf Committee
   Sandy Duso & Mary Beth Crowley, Publicity Committee

Please plan to join us in Vermont on July 22-24, 2007 as we continue our evolution - as well as for networking and having fun together.

We look forward to seeing you at this exciting conference.
