SUMMARY:September Education Event - Personnel\, Session HR Team
DESCRIPTION:Personnel or Session HR Teams \nAlmost all congregations have some kind of “employment” relationship with someone. Larger congregations may have multiple full- and part-time ordained and non-ordained staff while smaller congregations may only have part-time paid custodial staff and a series of pulpit supplies\, but there are always aspects of employment that need to be managed to ensure that the congregation is in compliance with both Presbyterian polity and applicable law. Whether you are on a Personnel Committee or a member of a Session\, that oversees the work of church employees\, we encourage you to learn best practices\, communication skills\, and yearly planning for all church staff. Presbytery Leader\, Rev. Ryan Landino welcomes you to join him in this education hour. \nTo join click this link\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/85917189356\nIf using the Zoom App\, enter this Meeting ID: 859 1718 9356

Eric Heinekamp\, of Blackhawk Presbytery\, will lead this session. \nTo join click this link\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/89190476622 \nIf using the Zoom App enter the Meeting ID: 891 9047 6622
