Leadership and Human Resources Press Release


Once again this is a mock Press Release that I have been working on. Utah State University will be hosting the 25th Annual Leadership and Human Resources Seminar this upcoming March. Speakers have been chosen to focus on leadership training and build a solid foundation of communication within industries. So here is the Press Release. (All quotes are not real)
Human Resources Seminar
With the ruff economic times that have hit recently, companies are looking for any competitive edge that they can find to gain any type of advantage over their competitors. Leadership qualities and essential supervising skills are at the top of the list for most companies in the business world today.
The Leadership & Human Resources department at Utah State University will be hosting the 26th Annual Leadership & Human Resources Seminar on March 25-26th, 2009 at the Eccles Conference center on the campus of USU. Topics this year will include the use of workplace metrics, motivating employees, creating a continuous improvement culture, and other current issues. The seminar will also play host to some of the Nation’s top experts on the subject of leadership skills and human resources.
The Leadership & Human Resources seminar will address how to create value for companies and provide strategies for winning in tough times. Current trends will be presented by experts and leading professionals. . “The speakers were all chosen because of the expertise and experience in this field of work,” Dannon Loveland said, leadership and human resources seminar coordinator. There is no substitute for experience Dannon said.
Robert J. Wrona, Executive Director of the Training Within Industry (TWI), Institute will be discussing the essential skills for supervisors and managers. Wrona began his career in manufacturing working 6 years at General Motors in Buffalo, NY and 4 years at Kodak in Rochester, NY before joining a retail drug store chain in Syracuse, NY where, as VP of Organizational Development, he helped lead the company to profitably expand from 12 to 130 stores in 10 years.
Wrona will illustrate how companies can gain the competitive edge in these tough economic times by providing the foundation of a positive, collaborative work environment in which people can be quickly trained on how to do a job correctly and carefully. “There is absolutely no substitute for experience in the days we live in now,” Wrona said.
Among the information that will be given concerning leadership skills and a positive work environment, Greg Inozemcev, a Leadership Facilitator with JetBlue Airways’ Organizational Effectiveness team will discuss how to effectively communicate within an industry or organization. Greg is responsible for diagnosing elements of organizational dynamics, then designs and facilitates interventions aimed at improving performance at the individual, group and enterprise-wide level. He works closely with leaders at all levels to manage projects focused on leadership development, organizational culture, change management and team effectiveness. Facilitating is just one of the many tools we use to communicate with one another in our industry,” Inozemcev said.
The 25th Annual Leadership and Human Resources Seminar promises to deliver powerful and motivating information for the local and world-wide audience. “The speakers at this seminar all share the same message,” Loveland said, “And that is the message of progression within each individual industry and corporation.”
