TEEOCA
Tulsa Equal Employment Opportunity Coordinators Association
______________________
Invitation from Tulsa Chapter President:
Travis Jones 
March madness is upon us – everyone seems to be stretched to do more with less in the HR field. TEEOCA is the resource that keeps us sane, with outstanding programs on topics of interest to keep our feet grounded. Last month, our program was so powerful that many attendees were gathered around our speaker for a good while after the program asking questions. I am reminded again of what a blessing it is to have Employment Law Attorney’s as our guest speakers each month. The topics to complete our normal year at TEEOCA over the next three months are Slam Dunks, to play a little off the upcoming basketball playoffs. It will soon be baseball season and then we will call them Home Runs. Take a look, make your reservations and join us for great food, education and networking with other HR Professionals. We appreciate your attendance and participation.
If you have not joined TEEOCA, please consider joining and becoming active.
www.teeoca.org See new info each month along with links to sites for employment law issues. If you have a good site that you think the members would find value in knowing about, would you let me know and we will get it posted on the link section.
Sincerely,
Travis Jones
President of TEEOCA 2009-2010
