December 17, 2002, AUSTIN, TEXAS — Hospitality Financial and Technology Professionals (HFTP®) has added two new, one-day conferences to its 2003 education schedule — the Hospitality Restaurant Professionals Forum and the Human Resources Seminar. The two were adopted into HFTP’s education program because of widespread interest in these topics from the association’s members, and are geared for hospitality professionals. The two conferences will be held on Friday, February 21 at the Crowne Plaza Los Angeles Airport in Los Angeles, Calif.
The Hospitality Restaurant Professionals Forum will cover three topics in an open-discussion format, with each topic moderated by an industry expert. Topics currently include: Cost Controls, Food Safety and Supply Chain Management.
The Human Resources Seminar is geared toward hospitality professionals whose jobs require them to perform in a human resources capacity. The seminar will be lead by Cecile J. Bereal, president and founder of RMA Management Alliance, Inc. Topics currently include: Wage and Hour; Termination Practices; Workplace Diversity; Employee Relations; and Recruitment, Hiring and Retention.
Ms. Bereal’s firm, RMA Management Alliance, Inc., is a human resources consulting, training, coaching and organizational management firm. Ms. Bereal has worked in the human resources field for over 20 years and her skill sets include what she refers to as the “ATIONS” — employee relations, investigations, mediations, facilitations and collaborations.
HFTP is welcoming feedback on the conference topics prior to the events. Suggestions for any particular area(s) of the topics listed above will be considered and can be e-mailed to education@hftp.org. This information will be compiled and provided to the session facilitator; however, the attendee's information will remain anonymous.
