Whenever I bring up “Las Vegas” to anyone, there is an almost immediate reaction. Often, it seems to be kind of a “love-hate” relationship where the person, whether they have visited Las Vegas or not, declare either their “love” or “hate” for the town long dubbed as “Sin City.”

In my case, I have a nearly 30-year relationship with Las Vegas. Like any friendship or relationship, it’s had its ups and downs, but has somehow endured over the years. Early in my relationship with Las Vegas, it would not be unusual to have 3-4 visits in a calendar year. More...

HR Pros know very well the importance of a peer network. One of the benefits of attending an event on the scale of the 2019 SHRM Annual Conference & Exposition (#SHRM19) is the networking opportunities.

I will attend the SHRM Annual Conference & Exposition for the first time in 2019. And I am excited to be there. It’s like going to a pilgrimage to find the answers that have been unanswered for so long. But there are also mixed feelings. And here’s why.
