HHRPA In The Community

Please join in extending a genuine thank you to our members who represented the HHRPA with pride as they volunteered their time in support of Covenant House Toronto on January 25, 2012.  Our members supported Canada’s largest youth shelter by utilizing their HR expertise to promote careers in the hospitality industry to the more than fifty youth in attendance.  What an ideal way to come together, have fun and contribute to a great cause all at the same time!

2011 Annual Conference

The annual HHRPA Conference held in October 2011 featured NY Times Bestselling Author and President of the Body Language Institute, Janine Driver.  Janine is NBC’s Today Show Body Language Contributor with appearances on The Dr. OZ Show, The Rachael Ray Show and CNN.  Attendees learned to uncover the mysteries of body language and gain the control to change the dynamics of any interaction.  Attendees also learned from Dave Perry, one of Canada’s premier investigators, an investigative technique designed to get to the truth.
