| The year has only just begun but the Mid-Cities Human Resource Association has already accomplished a lot! As you can see, we have changed the look of our emails as well as our website. We have made mostly cosmetic improvements, added some pages, and changed the way our members and guests will register for events. If you have any questions on this change or would like to provide feedback regarding it, please contact myself or any other Board Member. We also held our 3rd Annual Employment Law Symposium on Wednesday, January 27th. Thank you to all of those who attended and those who sponsored the event. If you missed out, we are already working on our event for next year. We hope to see you there! If you have not yet paid your dues for 2010, please do so now. You can renew your membership or join as a new member by using our MCHRA online application. You may also pay your dues online through Google Checkout. Sincerely, |

Be On Your Best Business and Dining Behavior
March 3, 2010
11:30-1:30pm
No matter where we might be in our career or personal life, etiquette is always important and can make the difference.
Learn or refresh the "do's and don'ts" of etiquette to make the best of every opportunity. Most of us learned these tips as children, but select to forget a few of them as time goes on. When you enter a room do you look your best, have the right attitude and take control to meet new people that can strengthen your business or personal confidence?
You need strong skills and they can start with a handshake, the correct way to introduce yourself and even properly exchanging business cards. It is that first impression that makes the difference.
Let this session guide you through all proper business skills for mobile phones, BlackBerry, electrical devices and e-mail etiquette, responding to RSVPs and even sending invitations. Did you know that older Americans have had the largest percentage increase in internet use of any age group?
Have your ever used the wrong bread and butter plate, drank your neighbor's coffee or picked up the wrong napkin? Or even worse, had no idea that you even made these little dining faux pas.
