Join the BNHRC HR Professional Book Club!

Are you ready to sharpen your HR expertise, challenge conventional thinking, and connect with fellow HR professionals? BNHRC is excited to launch our Fall 2025 HR Professional Book Club, featuring the highly acclaimed book, No Ego by Cy Wakeman!

• Engaging discussions: Dive into Cy Wakeman’s groundbreaking ideas on eradicating workplace drama and creating accountability.
• Flexible format: Participate in a hybrid format—join in person or virtually, depending on your preference!
• Professional networking: Build relationships with other HR professionals in the Bloomington-Normal area.

Details:

Starting in September, we’ll meet every two weeks for five sessions, discussing approximately 40 pages per meeting. This cadence will allow us to reflect on key concepts while balancing busy schedules.

Meeting Dates:

• Friday, September 5

Time: Fridays over lunch, 12:00–1:00 PM
