Blog Post: Danny Glover Keynote Speaker at The 30th Annual HR Florida State Conference & Expo

This year’s event will be held at the Rosen Shingle Creek located in the heart of Central Florida , August 25 th – 27 th.  Headlining this keynote ensemble is acclaimed actor, producer, and leading social activist Danny Glover.  A commanding presence on screen, stage, and television for more than 25 years, Glover is best known for his work in feature films including Steven Spielberg’s “The Color Purple”, Peter Weir’s “Witness”, and, of course, the “Lethal Weapon” series.
 
The line-up of keynote speakers also includes Commander Mike Abrashoff, the most junior commanding officer in the Pacific Fleet, selected to become Commander of U.S.S. Benfold.  The challenges were staggering with exceptionally low morale and remarkably high turnover.  Few thought that this ship could improve, but Commander Abrashoff only became more resolved.  Mike’s book, It's Your Ship, is a captivating tale of top-down change for anyone trying to navigate today’s uncertain business seas.

Rounding out the lineup is SHRM Board of Directors Chair Janet Parker, SPHR.  A practitioner, Parker is executive vice president of human resources at Regions Financial Corporation in Birmingham , Alabama and has responsibility for providing strategic HR direction.
