One of the benefits of this HDI community is the way the annual awards program brings the power of recognition to life. I remember the very first time I saw someone give their acceptance speech at the national conference on stage in front of more than two thousand people. I got chills and even shed a few tears of joy. But I could only imagine how they felt and what their experience was like.

We invite you to share your ideas, stories, and perspective on how you like to be recognized, and the role that celebrating your efforts has played in your career so far. Then, hear from our panelists share their experience and recent lessons learned.

If the perfect job opportunity presents itself to you, are you ready to pounce on it quickly with an up-to-date, modern resume? Or do you have a tired old resume written years (or decades) ago that you only occasionally update? How will an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) handle your resume?

Since September is International Update Your Resume month, now is the time for you to take a fresh look at your resume. Regardless of where you are in your career, you should always have a current resume readily available.

Date: Tuesday, September 13, 2022

Time: 10 am Pacific, 11 am Mountain, 12 pm Central, 1 pm Eastern
