Food for Thought Film Series - dirt! The Movie 10/10/2019 6:00 PM - 10/10/2019 8:00 PM

Thu, 03 Oct 2019 13:01:31 GMT

On Thursday, October 10, 2019 we will screen dirt! The Movie. This film brings to life the environmental, economic, social and political impact that the soil has. It shares the stories of experts from all over the world who study and are able to harness the beauty and power of a respectful and mutually beneficial relationship with soil. But more than the film and the lessons that it teaches, "DIRT! The Movie" is a call to action. Our panelists include Dr. Ganga Hettiarachchi with K-State Department of Agronomy, Dennis Patton with Johnson County K-State Research and Extension and Tom Ruggieri of Fair Share Farm - Community Supported Agriculture. This series is a project of the M.S. in Horticulture with an Emphasis in Urban Food Systems program. This degree program focuses on how the urban food system impacts economic development and provides a source of nutritious, safe food grown locally/regionally. The specialization places an emphasis on sustainable agriculture, food systems project management, and safe food production in an urban environment. Food for Thought will be held on the second Thursday of every month at K-State Olathe.

JCCC 50th Anniversary Film Series - Five Obstructions 10/10/2019 6:30 PM - 10/10/2019 9:00 PM

Mon, 07 Oct 2019 09:43:29 GMT

This film is rated R. Aspiring filmmakers will especially love this study in creative elasticity as Danish filmmaker Lars von Trier enters the world of documentary filmmaking alongside his idol, Jørgen Leth. In 1967, Leth made a 12-minute feature film called The Perfect Human. In 2000, von Trier challenged Leth to remake his film five times, with new and increasingly difficult obstructions to force Leth to rethink his story and characters. Tonia Hughes, Associate Professor, Film & Photography, will lead a post-movie discussion about this study in artistic elasticity as well as personal one-upmanship. And given these filmmakers’ provocative histories, how does one separate art from the artist? Celebrate and connect all year long! Stay tuned for more 50th Anniversary Film Series events.

Olathe HR Roundtable - "Addiction Trends in the Workplace" 10/15/2019 11:15 AM - 10/15/2019 1:00 PM

Tue, 11 Dec 2018 15:12:27 GMT

This month we will learn important information about addiction trends in the US and how they can impact the workplace. Kevin Kufeldt, LCPC, LCAC, and Program Manager of Adolescent Center For Treatment at the Johnson County Mental Health Center, will lead the program, and will share his expertise about addictive substances and the issues surrounding them.

What makes Olathe HR Roundtable meetings unique is the degree of topic-driven discussion. Therefore, come prepared to learn but also share. If you have questions or first-hand experience around the topic of the month, we encourage you to attend and participate!

Pre-registration is required as space is limited. There is no cost to attend if you “B.Y.O.Lunch” however please register and pre-pay for catered lunch, $12.

For better service, Tax Exempt Members should give lunch payments to Mary Barrios at (913) 764-1050 or mbarrios@olathe.org.

FAQ:

What is the HR Roundtable?

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.
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.
Payments for catered lunch are accepted online only. Cancelations must be received by 5 p.m. on the Friday prior to the event.
Space is limited to 30 people. A waiting list will be maintained as needed and individuals will be contacted if space becomes available.

Mission Statement:

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.

Who is it designed for?

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, payroll administrators, etc.). Small business owners and office managers often benefit from participating in these monthly meetings, as well.

Can vendors attend?

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’s success that attendance is restricted to "vendors" (identified as people who work in a "non-HR role") who provide uniquely human resources services and/or products.
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.
Vendors are often seen as the “solutions experts” to the questions and concerns pertaining to the month's topic; therefore vendor input is welcome while “sales messages” are not. Vendors, along with all attendees, are encouraged to utilize the lunch and networking portion to meet others in the room.
To determine the appropriateness of vendors attending, Chamber staff will evaluate several factors, including their relevance to the employment situations that the HR practitioners 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 qualifications directly relating to the topic of the month (i.e. college representative, benefits expert, employment law specialist, government agency, corporate consultant, etc.); and membership status.

Can non-members of the Olathe Chamber attend?

One representative of a non-member organization is welcome to attend one meeting a year.

Can vendors make presentations to the HR practitioners that attend?

Vendor-led discussions or presentations are at the sole discretion of the Olathe Chamber of Commerce staff.
This is a "no sales" environment in order to preserve the dialogue and integrity of the meetings.
Topics are organized and facilitated by Susan Wallace, Olathe Chamber, HR & Projects Manager. If you would like to submit a question or special request, we will respond ASAP or you may call the Olathe Chamber (913) 764-1050.
The HR Roundtable Corporate Sponsor of the Year is permitted to discuss their unique products and services for a brief designated portion of time each month.
