The 2012 North American Ag & Food HR Roundtable is right around the corner and everyone at AgCareers.com is excited to be celebrating 10 years of this event. Cindy was able to take a few minutes and talk with Erika Osmundson, Marketing and Communications Manager for AgCareers.com. Erika was eager to share what they have in-store for their 10 year anniversary.
“We’re really excited this year, its our 10th Annual Roundtable so were really excited to be celebrating 10 years and with that comes a few fun additional activities that we’re really looking forward to. Not to mention we are on a great host campus. We are offering two optional Tyson tours and both are jam packed full. One of the other really exciting things that I know I am really looking forward to is getting a chance to have dinner at Crystal Bridges, which is a new art museum. Crystal Bridges is gaining a lot of popularity across North America. They have some really great original artwork from a number of different periods of time. They have one of the original drafts of the Declaration of Independence and I think it will still be on display while we are there.”
“I also have to thank our organizing committee that helped us develop the topics and schedule for this year. The schedule was put together by a group of peers that typically attend the Roundtable and I feel really confident that we’ve got up-to-date, important issues highlighted within our conference. Along with that we have some really great speakers identified. We’ve got Dr. Jay Lehr coming, Greg Honey with Farm Credit Canada, retired Colonel Jill Chambers and Michael Peterson to talk about recruiting veterans. And we’ve got a lot of great concurrent sessions outlined.”
The event is located in Springdale, AR Aug. 7-9 and they will be taking registrations up until the actually event, so don’t worry if you haven’t already made plans to attend.
