PorticoHR Social Media & Human Resources Seminar

I am looking forward to speaking on June 9th at the PorticoHR Social Media & Human Resources Seminar. Should be a fun panel with pulic relations and social media strategist Claire Celsi and Sam Mandolfo of LinkedIn also speaking.

PorticoHR is a provider of temporary and direct-hire staffing in Central Iowa. It is owned by Katie Roth who has over 25 years in the industry. She is quite an entreprenuer in her own right, having been selected as a finalist for the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year in 2001.
