Her practical knowledge about creating work environments where employees are inspired to participate in the process and be appreciated for their efforts is essential. Her presence is indispensable and valuable to any discussion on HR issues and DEI.” ~Bill Lupfer President / CEO Florida Attractions Association Chief Executive Officer & Founder of MEND President & Founder of MEND Recruiting Author International Public and Motivational Speaker Nicole Anderson is the founder of MEND HR Solutions and President of MEND Recruiting, a human resources solution and recruiting firm based in West Palm Beach, Fla.
