Concord's NEHRA to Host Diversity & Inclusion Gala May 8th
After nearly two decades of spotlighting diversity and inclusion achievements in Boston-area workplaces, the Northeast Human Resources Association (NEHRA)--based on Concord-- will once again bring together area business leaders, accomplished students, and HR professionals for their annual D&I Gala. The event will take place on May 8, 2014 beginning at 5:30 PM at the Renaissance Boston Waterfront Hotel.
As the leading HR professional organization in the Northeast, the D&I Gala is just a part of NEHRA’s year round-efforts to provide education, support and relationship brokering that promotes diversity and inclusion on the job. Their 2,000+ membership represents over 1,000 organizations that help drive Northeast career opportunities and economic health across the technology, finance, biotech, healthcare, energy and higher education industries.
During the D&I Gala, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care will be recognized as the 2014 NEHRA Diversity Champion for their outstanding work in fostering inclusion with their employees, members and communities they serve. Well-known Boston media and communications expert Liz Brunner will keynote the event.
