AURORA, Ill. — "Creating an Effective Staff Training Process," a business workshop, will be presented at Aurora University's Human Resources Institute from 8 to 9 a.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 28, in the University Banquet Hall at Alumni Hall, 1410 Marseillaise Place in Aurora.
The program is free to the public. Networking and refreshments begin at 7:30 a.m.
The presenter is Sharon Merrill, continuous quality improvement manager for the DuPage County Health Department.
Merrill said, "As we do more with less in these difficult economic times, it's imperative that we create a training process that 'sticks' with employees and creates value.

Merrill holds a master's degree in management with an emphasis on organizational leadership.
