It’s getting to be that time of year again…time to start thinking about (and registering) for the AgCareers.com Ag HR Roundtable! There is no better place to connect with human resource professionals and university/ career services staff who have a passion for the agriculture industry. Why wait? Register today for this fun and educational annual conference being held August 1-3, 2011 in West Lafayette, IN.

AgCareers.com is pleased to partner with ADM and Purdue University to host the 9th Annual Ag HR Roundtable on the beautiful Purdue University campus. This event is a great educational opportunity, but participants also appreciate the exceptional networking that takes place.

In early December, the Roundtable Organizing Committee gathered in Des Moines, IA to begin to plan for the 2011 event. Thank you to those participating members of the Organizing Committee. From that brainstorming session, a number of topics were developed for the 2011 Ag HR Roundtable. Check out the conference webpage for a full schedule, further details and additional activities being planned.

Some of this year’s topics include:

  • A Focus on Human Capital Development
  • Raising the Bar – Student Recruitment into the Agriculture Industry
  • Effective Performance Management Strategies
  • Social Media in the Workplace
  • Utilizing Employer Brand to Enhance Recruitment (New and Experienced Professionals)
  • And much, much more!
