RSVPs are due by Friday July 20 to Janice Moriarty at the Department of State Development, via 4987 9326 or janice.moriarty@sd.qld.gov.au . 

Ms Becker will conduct a free hands-on workshop (from 6.30pm-9pm on Tuesday July 24 at the conference room of the State Government Offices at 99 Hospital Road) aimed at identifying solutions for current staffing issues, particularly in attracting new employees and ensuring current employees are kept.

The visitor will focus her business breakfast session (from 6.45am-8.15am on Wednesday July 25 at the Maraboon Tavern) on 'Employing the Younger Generation'. She will challenge the way people think about employing the younger generation and will highlight why many employment practices don't appeal to Generation Y.

Ms Becker's visit to Emerald is being sponsored by Emerald Chamber of Commerce, Department of State Development and CQU.
