SHRA 2009 is coming to Gardiner

Check your travel budget and book your tickets, SHRA is coming to Gardiner, Montana. SHRA, the Seasonal Human Resources Assocation, will be gathering for the 21st time in the land of CoolWorks.com. Two of our team members make Gardiner their home and I'll be flying in for the festivities. The conference will take place from Sunday, October 25, to Thursday, October 29. By virtue of being on our home turf, Patty, aka SHRA Queen, has scored some great deals on the conference center and hotel. Fun should be had by all.
