2007 TAB / SHRM Symposium

Pam Bratton and Jill Silman manned the Career Consultants/Meador Staffing "Java Jive" booth at the recent TAB /TSC Employment Relations Symposium. The event, now in it's 29th year, attracts nearly 200 attendees from all over the state of Texas. Most of the attendees are human resource professionals or company owners, attorneys and accountants. The presenters are typically attorneys from across Texas speaking on Employment Law.

Pam and Jill were asked to join the cast of the popular Mock Trial Presentation. An interesting case in Sexual Harassment was re-enacted complete with the attorney who originally tried the case, a real-life plaintiff's attorney, and presided over by a real-life judge! The case revealed to the attendees just how important it is to ensure employees truly understand policies and procedures, not simply sign the statements.

Different from prior years, the TAB added a non-attorney to the schedule of presentations in Meador's own Jill Silman. Jill presented an abbreviated version of GForces@Work to the crowd. It appears her presentation left them hungry for more! The TAB has asked if she would participate in other meetings throughout the state and 10 companies/organizations have asked her to speak at future dates in 2007/2008!

Meador/Career Consultants has participated at a sponsorship level for the past several years. This year's sponsors included Ogletree and Deakins, Kemp Smith, jobing.com, Best Places to Work in Texas, Texas Coalition for Worksite Wellness and more.
