HR Workshop Deadline Extended: Don’t Miss Out

There is still time for booksellers to register for the American Booksellers Association’s two upcoming in-depth workshops on Human Resources, but the registration deadline for both sessions is September 25.

The workshops are designed especially for indie booksellers and will be led by Dr. John Sherlock, the director of the Master of Science in HR program at Western Carolina University. Sherlock’s session at this year’s Winter Institute on HR was highly praised, with bookseller Vicky Titcomb citing it as “the highlight of the entire conference.”

The first Human Resources Workshop will be presented at the Holiday Inn Portland-Airport in Portland, Oregon, on Thursday, October 1, from 10:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., just prior to the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association trade show.

The second workshop will take place over two days: on Tuesday, October 6, from 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., and on Wednesday, October 7, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Biltmore Hotel Providence. The workshop is being held in conjunction with the New England Independent Booksellers Association trade show at the Rhode Island Convention Center.

The registration fee for the workshops, which are open to the owners and managers at all ABA member stores, is $75 per person.
