Traditional meetings cost too much. As organizations trim staff and fewer people are being asked to accomplish more work, face-to-face meetings are becoming a luxury.
Hence, the virtual meeting. Identify, understand and overcome the greatest obstacle to successful virtual communication!
People from around the globe or down the hall can participate with minimal interruption. The problem is that many people don’t understand the etiquette of virtual meetings.
As HR professionals, we help our organizations create and maintain productive and effective work environments. We are in an ideal position to understand and implement strategies that enhance communications between individuals and teams, wherever they may be.
Virtually Speaking provides you with new ways to communicate and to effectively accomplish your objectives. This presentation will help your staff understand the impact of their actions in the virtual setting, and inspire the meeting leader to take the necessary steps that will ensure that even when meeting virtually, you’re still getting your message across.

Food Drive:
In the spirit of giving, HRMA will again this year lend a helping hand to HomeFront by hosting a food drive for the holidays. HomeFront, as you know, is a non-profit organization dedicated to ending homelessness in Mercer County. Knowing that far too many families struggle to make ends meet, one of their endeavors is to provide the means for 1,000 needy families to enjoy a home cooked meal on Thanksgiving, and HRMA is pleased to support that goal. We ask that you bring canned goods or small toiletries and personal care items to the November 11 dinner meeting. There will be a recepticle available to collect your donations at the beginning of the meeting.
Our Menu:
Shaved Fennel, Roasted Kobachi Squash Salad with Pepinos and Soy Pumpkin Oil Dressing
Roast Breast of Turkey with a Demi Glaze Sauce Paired with Filet of Sole Stuffed with Herb Stuffing Served with Chef’s Selection of Seasonal Vegetable and Starch
Apple Cobbler
