Viva Las Vegas!

Just a quick note to start a series of blogs from the 2007 SHRM Conference in Las Vegas. I am fortunate enough to not only attend the conference, but also to volunteer and see a bit behind the scenes. And last but not least, I'll hopefully get to spread some good old fashion Cool Works cheer.

Some numbers to ponder.

1,000,000 square feet of convention space

15,000 attendees

4,000 exhibitors

500 volunteers

200+ sessions for learning and networking

and

108 degrees!

If you're in town, post a comment and hopefully we'll be able to meet up somewhere.

Gen Y Worker Lures - Let Them Volunteer!

This is quite an interesting article on the Society for Human Resource Management website regarding the desire of young people to volunteer and the benefits to employers who let them.

Enjoy and have a nice weekend!
