Did you also know that 75% of these spouses are doing it alone without adequate support or knowledge? The statistics on these family caregivers are grim and reflect that their own health declines rapidly when caretaking a loved one. Why does this happen? A significant reason is lack of knowledge on what to expect as the disease progresses, how to adequately plan care and how to find resources. If this sounds like you, or someone you know, then this class is for you. Come spend a few hours and learn all about the stages of dementia, how to interact and make meaningful connections with your loved one, where to find resources, and most importantly why it is critical you take excellent care of yourself. This course offers no healthcare CE.

What makes Olathe HR Roundtable&amp;nbsp;meetings unique is the degree of topic-driven open discussion. Therefore, come prepared to learn but also share. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:medium"&gt;For&amp;nbsp;better service, Tax Exempt Members should give lunch payments to Marlene Bean at (913) 764-1050 or &lt;a href="mailto:mbean@olathe.org"&gt;mbean@olathe.org&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:medium"&gt;Vendors and future Chamber members, please refer to FAQ below.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FAQ:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is the HR Roundtable?&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small"&gt;We offer a unique environment for human resources practitioners to explore related best practices, emerging trends, and workplace issues with their peers on a monthly basis.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small"&gt;Meeting registration opens two weeks prior to the event date and catered lunch registration ends the Friday before the meeting date. Complimentary Pepsi beverages are always available. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small"&gt;Payments for catered lunch are accepted online only. Cancelations must be received by 5 p.m. on the Friday prior to the event. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small"&gt;Space is limited to 30 people. A waiting list will be maintained as needed and individuals will be contacted if space becomes available. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mission Statement:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small"&gt;The Olathe HR Roundtable offers human resource practitioners of member organizations a forum to discuss and share related best practices, emerging trends, and workplace issues. The main purpose of the roundtable is to create a unique environment where information can be shared in an open-exchange format that is collaborative, engaging, and valuable to represented organizations and the HR profession. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size:small"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Who is it designed for?&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small"&gt;The HR Roundtable was created as a networking and problem-solving opportunity for human resource practitioners who are directly involved in the personnel and hiring process of their organization (i.e. HR managers, recruiters, benefits specialits,&amp;nbsp;payroll administrators, etc.). Small business owners and office managers often benefit from participating in these monthly meetings, as well.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size:small"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can vendors attend? &lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small"&gt;Due to limited space and because of the nature of the topics that are openly discussed by the HR practitioners, some attendance restrictions do apply. Thus it is crucial to the group&amp;rsquo;s success that attendance is restricted to &amp;quot;vendors&amp;quot; (identified as people who work in a &amp;quot;non-HR&amp;nbsp;role&amp;quot;)&amp;nbsp;who provide uniquely human resources services and/or products. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small"&gt;Up to five seats will be reserved for vendors representing a relevant product or service may attend each meeting, with only one representative per business or organization each month. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small"&gt;Vendors are&amp;nbsp;often seen as the &amp;ldquo;solutions experts&amp;rdquo; to the questions and concerns pertaining to the month&amp;#39;s topic; therefore vendor input is welcome while &amp;ldquo;sales messages&amp;rdquo; are not. Vendors, along with all attendees, are encouraged to utilize the lunch and networking portion to meet&amp;nbsp;others in the room.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small"&gt;To determine the appropriateness of vendors attending, Chamber staff will&amp;nbsp;evaluate several factors, including&amp;nbsp;their relevance to the employment situations that the HR practitioners &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small"&gt;face in their day-to-day jobs (i.e. vendors who provide payroll services, pre-employment testing, staffing assistance, training, benefits, etc.); training or unique&amp;nbsp;qualifications directly relating to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small"&gt;the topic of the month (i.e.&amp;nbsp;college representative, benefits expert, employment law&amp;nbsp;specialist, government agency, corporate consultant, etc.); and membership status.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size:small"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can non-members of the Olathe Chamber attend?&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small"&gt;One representative of a non-member organization is welcome to attend one meeting a year. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small"&gt;Can vendors make presentations to the HR practitioners that attend? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small"&gt;Vendor-led discussions or presentations are at the sole discretion of the Olathe Chamber of Commerce staff.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small"&gt;This is a &amp;quot;no sales&amp;quot; environment in order to preserve the d&lt;/span&gt;ialogue &lt;span style="font-size:small"&gt;and integrity of the meetings. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small"&gt;Topics&amp;nbsp;are organized and&amp;nbsp;facilitated by &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.olathe.org/membership_and_services/leadership/staff/S_Wallace.htm?key=1&amp;amp;rnd=0.2672293723136901" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small"&gt;Susan Wallace, Olathe Chamber,&amp;nbsp;HR &amp;amp; Projects Manager&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:small"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small"&gt;If you&amp;nbsp;would like to&amp;nbsp;submit a question or special request, we will respond ASAP or you may call the Olathe Chamber (913) 764-1050. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small"&gt;The HR Roundtable Corporate Sponsor of the Year is permitted to discuss their unique products and services for a brief designated portion of time&amp;nbsp;each month.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
