2010 President’s Report 
Meet New Board Members 
Set on the sunny eastern slopes of the Cascades, alongside the sparkling waters of the Cle Elum 
River and surrounded by pristine pine forest was the setting for the WSHHRA 2010 Fall Conference. 
The attendees had the opportunity to network and to gain further knowledge and understanding 
about creating a Culture of Accountability, the Legal Implications of Social Media, 
Updates on Legal Issues and Healthcare Reform, as well as the impact of Stressed Employees 
and Workplace Violence. 

SOCIAL MEDIA: WHAT ARE THE LEGAL IMPLICATIONS? 

Julie Kebler, Attorney and Owner of Garvey, Schubert and Bareer presented an overview 
on the Legal Implications of Social Media for Healthcare Organizations. Here are a 
few reminders for organizations to consider as Social Media becomes common place in 
our work settings. 

.. 
Have a company policy for e-mail, internet usage and other social media. 
.. 
Internet usage policies should be updated to accommodate change in technology. 
.. 
Counsel employees on appropriate postings and the consequences of inappropriate 
postings as well as use of “company equipment”, i.e. computers, cell phones 
and blackberries. 

WSHHRA has had a 
21.0% increase in 
membership for 2010. 
If you know other human 
resource professionals 
who would find 
it a benefit to be a 
member of WSHHRA 
please have them go 
to our website and join.
