Employers Direct Announces Participation in NCHRA

Agoura Hills, CA – March 26, 2007 – Employers Direct Insurance Company, California’s only specialty direct writer of workers’ compensation insurance, announced its participation in the 2007 Northern California Human Resources Association (NCHRA) Annual Conference and Trade Show to be held September 17-18, 2007, at the Oakland Convention Center

“We consider all HR professionals to be our colleagues because they determine the policies and procedures that influence safe working conditions, medical care, and training. HR professionals are often decision-makers who purchase workers’ comp insurance, or they make recommendations to California’s business owners. We are proud to be a sponsor of NCHRA’s conference and support our extended team,” said James E. Little, Chairman/President & CEO of Employers Direct Insurance Company.

Started in 1960, the Northern California Human Resources Association (NCHRA) has grown to represent over 3,700 members throughout Northern California. NCHRA members include the full spectrum of the HR profession. Its practitioners represent all levels in large corporations and small companies, HR consultants, and educators. Membership spans San Francisco, the South Bay (Santa Clara Valley, the Peninsula, Santa Cruz, Monterey), the East Bay (Oakland, Contra Costa, TriValley), the North Bay (Marin Sonoma, Napa, and Solano), Sacramento, and the Central Valley. An affiliate, Chapter #47, of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), the leading international human resources association, NCHRA is a non-profit association governed by a Board of Directors elected by the membership.
