Hi Barb,

I just sent you an invite. I'm always looking to add great new contacts. I've just started my own company, (www.strategicrecruitinginc.com) a unique, alternative recruiting solutions company.

I look forward to networking in the future!

Have a great weekend!

Michael

Hi Barb - thanks for the invitation to connect. Prior to owning Home Helpers, I worked as a Corporate Trainer for 14 years. I would love to chat sometime about a topic that so many employers are beginning to face...the elder care crisis. It is a goal of mine to educate KC employers on the resources and tools available to "support" their most valuable assets - their employees (working caregivers) that are trying to balance the demands of careing for a loved one or family member facing health related challenges with the responsibilities of their jobs.

Barb-I am planning on making the social event on Wednesday. I'll look for you. We can do a little catching up.
