Lakes Region HR Exchange SEP 2026

Description

The Lakes Region Chamber and Leddy Group invite business leaders, HR professionals, managers, and employers from across the region to join us for an interactive HR Exchange focused on one of today's most pressing workplace challenges: Recruiting and Retaining Talent.

Today's workforce landscape continues to evolve, bringing new challenges for organizations of all sizes. From attracting qualified candidates in a competitive labor market to creating workplace cultures that inspire employees to stay and grow, employers are seeking innovative solutions to build and maintain strong teams.

Together, we'll explore questions such as:

• How are organizations successfully attracting top talent?
• What workplace benefits and culture initiatives matter most to today's employees?
• How can businesses improve employee engagement and reduce turnover?
• What leadership strategies are making a difference in retention?
• How can employers build stronger talent pipelines within our local communities?

Leading the conversation will be:

Cindy Bates, Chief People Officer, The Common Man Family of Restaurants
Will Stewart, Executive Director, Leadership New Hampshire
Jessica LaPaglia, Regional Director, Leddy Group

Through their unique perspectives and experiences, our panelists will share insights, challenges, and successful strategies they are using to make a meaningful impact within their organizations and throughout the Lakes Region community.
 

This is not a traditional presentation. We encourage attendees to participate, share experiences, ask questions, and engage in a dynamic discussion with fellow professionals facing similar workforce challenges. Whether you're struggling to fill open positions, looking to strengthen employee retention, or simply interested in learning what is working for others in our region, this event will provide valuable takeaways and networking opportunities.

We look forward to welcoming you for a morning of learning, connection, and conversation.
