🎤 Conference Panel Spotlight

What does it really take for HR to earn a seat at the executive table?

Join us for a candid panel discussion featuring three accomplished leaders who have built successful careers leading organizations, developing people, and driving business results.

Our panel includes:

✨ @ Dr.Mariane Asad Doyle
Executive Director & CEO, Center for Nonprofit Excellence

✨ Hallman, SHRM-SCP
Director of Human Resources, Farmington Country Club
Founder & Principal Consultant, Mosaic Management Solutions

✨ Humphreys
Former President, Devils Backbone Brewing Company and former executive with Anheuser-Busch

Together, they'll share real-world experiences on what makes HR a trusted strategic partner, how strong relationships between HR and executive leadership are built, and why business acumen is just as important as HR expertise.

You'll hear honest conversations about:
✔️ Building credibility with executive leadership
✔️ Becoming a strategic business partner
✔️ Aligning people strategies with organizational goals
✔️ Lessons learned from both successes and setbacks

If you've ever wondered how to move beyond being seen as "just HR" and become a true business partner, this is a session you won't want to miss.

We're excited to welcome Tower and Koven of Rogers to the 2026 Cville SHRM Annual Conference!

King and Scott are experienced labor and employment attorneys who advise employers on today's most complex workplace issues, from compliance and risk management to litigation and employment law. Together, they help organizations navigate changing legal requirements and make confident, defensible decisions in an ever-evolving workplace.

Session: Navigating Virginia's 2026 Employment Law Overhaul

Virginia employment law is changing rapidly, and HR professionals need to be ready.

In this practical session, King and Scott will walk attendees through the most significant legislative updates impacting Virginia employers, including:

✔️ Noncompete agreements
✔️ Pay transparency
