Welcome To The 2019 BigHR Event!

Imagine a day when the majority of organizations have an HR leader in the "C" Suite (and/or in the board room) so that future HR leaders won't have to hear about HR not having a "seat at the table" - EVER again!

The lift HR needs to accelerate this movement I believe lies in COMMUNITY so, today we come together to disrupt what we might hold too close, create new practices and connect so that we can go back and help raise others up to their potential.

I am  thrilled you're here to join us at our 4th Annual BigHR Event! Enjoy the day and each other!

Lynne Stewart, President, SUPERIORHIRE

I own an organization that is hired by what many people say are some of the strongest Human Resource departments in the Dallas/Ft Worth market. These companies range from manufacturing, distribution, to hospitality and service companies and these companies have caught recognition or have been recognized by their peers as being role models for the strength of their HR departments. The leaders of these companies are very picky in who they hire, they’ve set a bar for their employees to be above and they absolutely refuse to hire below that bar and frankly we are the company they turn to find these high performing HR professionals. Connect with Lynne on LinkedIn so that have her in your corner. http://bit.ly/Lynne19
