The seminar will be led by longtime human resources executive Ed Nangle at KSU Center on Oct. 23 from 8 a.m. to noon. Registration is $319 and includes a continental breakfast at 7:30 a.m.

The workshop is designed to educate HR and payroll professionals, all levels of management, business leaders and students. Individuals aspiring to become business leaders about business acumen will learn how financial intelligence can impact their careers in becoming a true business leader.

Nangle, a former longtime instructor for the College’s HR Management program, possesses more than 40 years of industry experience.

Each one of us needs to know how our organization makes the bottom line or meets the budget.”
