Special Columbus Announcement

Dear ERA Members,

We are excited to announce that the Columbus office of Employers Resource Association is moving to a new location, effective September 1, 2010. Our new downtown space - in the SERS Building at 300 East Broad Street, Suite 550 - will provide greater accessibility and flexibility as we continue to grow our Columbus-area operation.

Please note that our Columbus office will be closed from September 1-3 for the move and will re-open after the Labor Day holiday on Tuesday, September 7. During that time, please call our Cincinnati office toll-free at 888.237.9554 or e-mail us at info@hrxperts.org. We will be accessible and fully capable to serve you during this transition by answering your Hotline questions or connecting you directly to a specific Columbus staff member. Further information and directions to our new location will be available soon.

Thank you for your patience as we complete this move and make this important investment in the growth and development of our Columbus office. We look forward to serving you in bigger and better ways in the months and years ahead.

Thanks,
Jennifer Graft
President & CEO
