Employee relations is where leadership is truly tested—and no one knows that better than those who’ve led both organizations and our chapter.

Join PBC SHRM for an exclusive April Chapter Dinner + Pre‑Conference Unplugged Session unlike anything we’ve done before.

This interactive, no‑slides, real‑talk panel brings together some of our most respected past chapter presidents to share the wars they fought, the wins they earned, and the leadership lessons that shaped them—in HR and beyond.

️Moderated by:

Brian Knapp, Former PBC SHRM Chapter President

Panelists (Past Presidents):

• Lynette Lockwood

• Katie Kato, SHRM-SCP, SPHR

• Aimee Mangold, SHRM-SCP, SPHR

• Darron Davis, PHR, SHRM-CP

• Tammy Lane, SHRM-SCP, GBA

Special Interactive Role aka Chief Engagement Instigator:

• Real‑world employee relations conflicts

• Investigations, discipline, and policy enforcement

• Tough judgment calls and leadership pressure points

Participants will:

✔️ Identify common employee relations challenges and multiple response strategies

✔️ Evaluate real “wars and wins” from seasoned HR leaders
