Fort Worth HR Joint Networking Event — with DallasHR & Mid-Cities HR

Three chapters, one great night out. Fort Worth HR is teaming up with DallasHR and Mid-Cities HR. 

Join us for a joint networking event at Hop and Sting Brewery in Grapevine — bringing together HR professionals from across the Metroplex for an evening of casual conversation, community building, and craft beer.

Whether you're looking to expand your professional network, reconnect with familiar faces, or meet HR leaders from neighboring chapters, this event is designed for exactly that: no formal agenda, just good company and good conversation in a relaxed brewery setting.

We look forward to seeing you there — grab a drink, meet someone new, and toast to a great season ahead.

Thank you to our Sponsor. 

Join us for the next Compensation and Benefits PEG! 

A Zoom link will be emailed to you upon registration.  

Luncheon Session: 

Presented by: Beth Jones 

Topic: When Life Happens at Work: The Integration Strategy for Leading
Through Personal Challenges

Beth Jones addresses one of the most common, but least discussed leadership challenges: how personal stress activates survival patterns that reshape how leaders make decisions, communicate, and build trust — often without their awareness. Drawing from 30 years of leading teams through high-pressure environments at firms such as FTI Consulting and EY, and from her experience of leading 125 people while her own personal world collapsed, Beth introduces a practical framework for understanding how survival-driven behaviors — control, compartmentalization, overperformance, emotional distance — intensify under personal strain and begin shaping leadership in ways that erode trust, strain relationships, and undermine the very performance they're designed to protect. HR professionals leave with a behavioral lens on why their highest performers are running on empty and calling it excellence, an integration strategy that replaces "leave your personal life at the door," and practical tools for building cultures that retain leaders through the personal disruptions that are statistically inevitable in any workforce.

Thank you to our Sponsor!
