It is such an honor to have Eugene Scalia, Secretary of Labor, on our March cover! Secretary Scalia is the opening keynote speaker at the SHRM Advocacy @Work Conference in Washington, D.C., March 15-17. I am looking forward to the Q & A following his opening address with Johnny C. Taylor, Jr., SHRM-SCP, SHRM President & CEO. There will also be an Off-the-Record Fireside Chat on Monday, March 16, with Steve Clemons, Editor-at-Large from The Hill; Jocelyn Moore, Executive VP Communications and Public Affairs, from the NFL; Frederick S. Humphries Jr, Corporate VP U.S. Government Affairs Microsoft Corporation; and Holly Tyson, Former CHRO with Dick’s Sporting Goods.
We will hear great presentations from subject matter experts on public policy issues that impact our workforce at the Conference. The most exciting part of this conference is visiting our state legislators on Capitol Hill and discussing important issues that impact our workforce. Please follow me on Twitter @cythomps for up-to-the-minute coverage of the conference! We will also be bringing you Facebook Live interviews from the conference with keynote speakers and HR thought leaders. Be sure to Like us on Facebook in order to receive instant notifications.
We are featuring Rising Stars in Labor and Employment Law in our March issue. I know you will enjoy reading about these attorneys who are 40 or under and have practiced 10 years or less and are already top performers in their respective firms. Please take the time to congratulate those you know who made this prestigious list. We hope you will call on them as you navigate new legal issues.
