Business Case for Diversity Workshop
To be held on May 22th at the PPA Events Center in Downtown Denver
The Society for Hispanic Human Resource Professionals (SHHRP) was founded by proven Hispanic Professionals to serve as a guide, a blueprint, a conduit for information and an opportunity for those who believe in diversity, inclusion and social justice, to connect and share. The ultimate goal is to foster strong leadership and professional development in Colorado’s diverse workforce and to use our own vibrant, proficient professionals to build a local business and non-profit community that gets the best out of its talent, by helping each one be the best he or she can be. SHRRP is very proud of the company (and companies) we keep and the values we share.
