2026 - September 9 - Wine & Whine

Please join us for a lighthearted, laughter-filled after-work escape designed for us HR professionals to connect, share, and support one another. This interactive evening will feature rotating table conversations using SHRM Conversation cards, each with a statement and thought-provoking questions centered around key HR topics like Policy, Culture, Engagement, Benefits, Recruitment, etc. You’ll move from table to table, starting conversations, networking, and tackling real-world questions or challenges you bring with you. Whether it's HR headaches or big wins, this is your time to unwind, unfiltered.

This is a joint chapter event hosted by Lake/Geauga Area and Ashtabula Chapters of SHRM and sponsored by Gallagher.
