Advance Your HR Mastery with Two New E&T Classes
Registration is now open for two new signature workshops that will now be part of TVPPA Education & Training's Utility Human Resources Certificate program. Space is limited in both masterclass events and you won't want to miss your chance to learn about these critical topics.
Build Your Employee Handbook in Real Time with Legal Pro Kim Vance
Join us at TVPPA in Chattanooga, February 22-23, 2027 to build or revise your company's employee policy manual in our new class, Blank Pages to Best Practices.
Employment law expert Kim Vance will guide you through the process as you work directly on your own organization's handbook. You'll learn which policies belong in your handbook, which are better addressed elsewhere, and how to write clear, understandable policies that set expectations for employees and management.
This isn't just a workshop where you'll listen and take notes. You'll have dedicated time to draft and revise policies, identify gaps, and make real progress on your handbook with expert guidance and practical resources.
"I'm excited about this workshop because participants won't just learn about employee handbooks, they'll actually begin building one," Vance said. "My goal is for everyone to leave with practical tools and fresh ideas they can use in 2027 and beyond."
However, your opportunity to shape your handbook won't end when the workshop does. You'll leave with templates, policy-writing tools, and a practical plan for completing, reviewing, and updating your policies long after you return to your organization.
Succession Planning for Today's Workforce with Stacey Cunningham
If you think succession planning only matters when it comes to replacing your general manager, CEO, or other executive-level staff, this workshop will broaden your perspective and give you the tools to develop a comprehensive talent strategy that spans your entire organization.
Stacey Cunningham, talent strategist and owner of The Aegis Performance Group, will highlight the value of cross-training and help you understand how to overcome barriers to developing internal talent. You'll leave with fresh insights and practical tools to help your organization navigate change, preserve institutional knowledge, and create opportunities for employees to grow into new roles. Because effective succession planning isn't just about preparing for who comes next. It's about strengthening your organization and the people who keep it running today.
Save the date to join Succession Planning for Today's Workforce on April 8, 2027 in Chattanooga, Tenn.
