Join your higher ed HR colleagues in Portland, Maine for the 2008 Eastern Region Conference, May 6-9. The theme for this year's conference is HR: Guiding the Way Life Should Be. Against the backdrop of scenic Portland, these four days will be filled with plenty of networking opportunities, more than 45 concurrent sessions and three inspiring keynote speakers: Governor Angus King, Amy Edmondson and SST Communications.

The Thursday night off-site event will be a lobster bake at the nearby Portland Company which is at Portland's working waterfront. Transportation to the event will include the option to ride the historic Narrow Gauge Railroad. The historic Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad is a 1½-mile long railroad that runs along the waterfront of Casco Bay. The night promises to provide opportunities to connect with CUPA-HR friends and colleagues, eat heartily and dance if you'd like! Sponsored by Strategic Benefit Advisors and Sullivan, Cotter, and Associates.

This is an event you won’t want to miss! Register by April 10 for the biggest savings. To reserve your hotel room, visit the Hotel and City Information page. We look forward to seeing you in Portland!
