One Day. Four Speakers. Plenty to Take Back to Work!
8:30 AM - Marcy Nelson, PHR, SHRM-SCP
Director Human Resources Business Partner, ADP Augusta
What Makes You StandOut?
Marcy will introduce the StandOut strengths-based approach and help you look at what you naturally bring to the workplace in a whole new way. Discover how identifying and intentionally applying your strongest workplace roles can help you lead with greater confidence, strengthen your impact, and focus your development on what you already do best.

10:00 AM - Robyn Knox, SHRM-SCP, SPHR, RCC
Chief Encouragement Officer (CEO), The HR Business Connect
From Burnout to Balance
Robyn will explore how to recognize the signs of professional burnout, maintain balance during demanding seasons, and continue moving toward your goals when stress is high. Attendees will walk away with practical strategies for protecting their well-being while still showing up and performing at their best.

12:30 PM - Jamie Saxe
Chief Executive Officer, TaxSlayer
Becoming a True Business Partner
Jamie will share a CEO’s perspective on the role HR and today’s professionals play in driving business success. He’ll explore the financial and business side of organizational decision-making, offer practical advice for professionals, and discuss how HR can move beyond traditional functions to become a true strategic partner in growing their organization.

1:45 PM - Robert Kelly, TSC, CSP, CSC, CWCP
Vice President, Augusta Staffing Associates
Making Your Network Work
Robert takes networking beyond introductions and exchanging business cards. This session explores how professionals can strategically leverage relationships, community connections, and professional networks to expand their influence, uncover opportunities, solve challenges, and move goals forward. Robert will share practical insights for building the kind of network that doesn’t just grow your contact list, it helps you get things done.

We’ll End the Day by Putting Purpose Into Action
In partnership with United Way of the CSRA, we’ll close the conference with a hands-on corporate social responsibility service project, giving us the opportunity to make an impact together beyond the workplace. And throughout the day, you’ll have dedicated opportunities to network, meet our vendors, and connect with fellow professionals.
