Hope Springs Eternal in HR. This is a potpourri of Hope Mihalap's trademark stories about growing up in the South in a Greek ethnic family, marrying a Russian, and realizing that the most aggravating things that happen can be the funniest in retrospect. Her poignant personal memoirs are also based from her experience as private secretary to the famed Sir Rudolf Bing, temperamental head of the Metropolitan Opera. Hope holds two of the most respected speaking awards in the world: the Mark Twain Award for Humor, received also by such artists as Bob Hope, Danny Kaye, Phyllis Diller and Erma Bombeck, and the Speaker Hall of Fame Award from the National Speakers Association – the Oscar of the speaking profession.

With special thanks to keynote sponsor Smith, Elliott, Smith & Garmey.
