CUMMING - In 2011 the Cumming-Forsyth County Chamber of Commerce participated in 16 economic development projects that were projected to have generated over 1,000 new jobs. In response to the growing number of employees being hired in Forsyth County and the City of Cumming, the Cumming-Forsyth County Chamber of Commerce has partnered with Georgia United Credit Union to establish The Human Resource Council (HRC).

"The HRC connects our community's HR professionals to a wide range of workforce development resources."
On Tuesday, June 19, Georgia United Credit Union will host the 2012 HR Bootcamp. The event will serve as the kick-off event for the Human Resource Council.
