HR Professionals,
It hardly seems possible that we are just days away from the Thanksgiving holiday – but we are!
Your friends at Dayton Area Recruiting Alliance send you all the best of holiday wishes! It's a special time of year, but also a very busy time. That's why DARA takes a seasonal break from our monthly meeting schedule. There are no DARA meetings during November and December.
We will resume our monthly meetings at 8:00 on January 19 with a legal update focused on recruiting presented by Jeff Mullins of Taft, Stettinius & Hollister LLP.
We will have another great schedule of monthly programs for the winter and spring sessions. You will receive timely notices regarding each month's topic and presenter. Please mark your calendar for January 19 and reserve the date on the 3rd Thursday of each succeeding month through June, 2012.
Happy Holidays!
Legal Update Information
Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP has presented a legal update at the January DARA meeting for several consecutive years. This coming January will be no exception. But, we want to make sure you are aware that they are also presenting a Labor and Employment Law Update open to you on October 13th at the Mandalay Banquet Center. Details and registration information are attached.
DARA's Legal Update, originally announced for our October meeting will be moved back to January. It will also be presented by Taft Stettinius & Hollister (in the person of Jeffrey Mullins), but will have a focus on recruiting and will allow plenty of time for Q&A. So, DARA members who attend both will find them to be complementary.
Look for an announcement of the DARA meeting program for October to follow soon.

HR Professionals,
Summer is almost over, fall is on the way and another Dayton Area Recruiting Alliance program year is about to begin! On Thursday, September 15th, we'll be kicking off our 16th year! We've been hard at work on plans to make this our biggest and best season ever, so we're shaking things up a bit:
- We're changing our format to provide more of the up-to-date information you need, when you need it.
- There won't be a list of pre-planned programs; each session topic will be selected to address your most current and pressing recruiting challenges.
- More programs will be designed to promote open discussions about the problems you face as well as best practices within your organization.
So now we need to hear from you. Tell us what you'd like to hear about; what you'd like to talk about. Maybe the following questions will help to get some ideas flowing:
- Tell us about an achievement you want to be able to show on your performance review next year.
- What's keeping you awake at night?
- With so many aspects to recruiting today, what are your strongest areas? Where do you need the most help?
Simply reply to us and we'll work to incorporate your suggestions into our programs.
It's going to be a great year and you won't want to miss a thing, so go ahead and save these dates on your calendar:
| Thursday, September 15, 2011 |
Thursday, March 15, 2012 |

- The DARA Program Committee
The Dayton Area Recruiting Alliance (DARA) provides area HR Professionals an opportunity to candidly discuss recruiting and retention-related issues with peers in a confidential setting. The meeting format usually includes a presentation or a panel discussion by area experts who provide information on a variety of topics. Time permitting, the group conducts a roundtable discussion. Networking includes sharing ideas, best practices and experience around the recruiting and retention functions.
