We strive to make our meetings interactive and dynamic, and we expect our speakers to actively engage our members in dialogue about the content as opposed to a one-way presentation. Interactive discussion during dinner often includes a speaker-led discussion as a prelude to the main presentation.  A key factor in meeting evaluations is the extent to which the topic and presentation was appropriate to the ongoing development needs of HR executives.  We want our members to feel that the content they receive at ​PBSHRM meetings is not readily available anywhere else. Continuing education in strategic business management is designed to help make a greater contribution to an organization’s success. Here are examples of activities or course topics that we consider for ​SHRM or HRCI credit:  

• Technological Developments
• Current Economic Environment
• Employment Law Topics
• Labor Pool/Demographic Trends
• Strategic Planning
• Corporate Social Responsibility/Governance/Ethics
• Due Diligence for Mergers and Acquisitions​
• Developing Metrics
• Establishing Leadership Development Systems Tied to Organizational Goals
