The next meeting will be held on Thursday, September 15, from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. at ValoreBooks, 268 Summer Street, Boston.

The purpose of the roundtable discussion series is to bring internal HR and talent practitioners together to talk to each other about HR-related topics they are currently facing.  The September 15 event marks the second roundtable of the series, and is set to focus on company culture.

Nitzberg is a graduate of George Washington University with a master's degree in education and human resource development.

Nitzberg recently rebranded West5 Consulting from WOW! transformations.  "It was time for a new look and message to better reflect the purpose, objectives and scope of the firm's work, which focuses on building custom solutions that solve people and organization development problems, while producing business results," she said.

Watkin has over 25 years of human resources and employee benefits experience and joined Ipswich Bay Advisors in 2007 to manage the human resources and employee benefits consulting business.  As a human resources expert, he regularly consults with clients on a range of human resource issues including legal, compliance, performance management, on-boarding and corporate culture.  Watkin is certified as a Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR) by the Human Resources Certificate Institute, and holds his Series 6 and 63 securities licenses.

Swistro is a results-oriented management consultant and coach known for implementing organizational change that streamlines work, enhances worker productivity and management effectiveness, and increases profitability.  She has spent 20 years transforming organizations by working closely with executives and their teams to quickly and accurately assess their needs and objectives, remove roadblocks, and activate change to attain sustainable performance improvement.

"These roundtable discussions provide internal HR professionals with a great environment in which to discuss challenges and learn about new approaches to serious issues," said Nitzberg.  "Participants will additionally benefit from Cliff's and Chris's years of practical experience in the field of human resources and talent, and particularly with regard to building and enhancing a positive company culture."
