Christopher C. Antone, JD, Inducted Into the HRSWC Speaker Hall of Fame

Dallas, TX, November 05, 2015 --(PR.com)-- The HRSouthwest Conference (“HRSWC”) recognized Christopher C. Antone, JD, as its 2015 inductee into the HRSWC Speaker Hall of Fame at the opening general session of the 74th annual event, held Oct. 25 – 28 in Fort Worth, Texas. The program was established in 2013 to honor speakers who exhibit professionalism and speaking excellence, and who continually contribute to The Conference to further the profession of human resources. Inductees are evaluated by their peers and each candidate must excel in content, delivery, professionalism and communication.

Antone first spoke at The HRSouthwest Conference in 1994 and, for the last 21 years, has achieved universally positive reviews for his presentation content and style. He joins previous inductees Michael Mirarchi, JD, and Alice Dendinger, SPHR, in this distinguished honor.

Antone joined the Society for Human Resource Management (“SHRM”) nearly 40 years ago, when he was a member of the Cornell University School of Industrial and Labor Relations’ student chapter of the American Society of Personnel Administration. His dedication to workplace issues continued in law school, where he was recognized as the top graduate in the study of labor and employment law, the specialty area in which he was subsequently certified by the State Bar of Texas.

In addition to a full labor agency litigation and labor arbitration caseload, Antone is also an active speaker with several Texas SHRM chapters, often presenting on various legal matters and hot topics. He also teaches the National Labor Relations Act section to HR professionals seeking professional certification. Antone regularly contributes to the DallasHR chapter, spearheading the organization’s Legal Breakfast Series since 2010. In addition, he is a long-time presenter at the DallasHR Legal Exchange events.

Throughout his 34-year legal career, Antone has been committed to educating all levels of management in achieving their business goals within the law – his focus on prevention rather than cure. He would much rather be known as the lawyer-educator than the lawyer-gladiator. Antone is a shareholder in the Dallas office of Jackson Lewis P.C., having been with the firm for more than 32 years. He has been named one of the nation's top 100 labor lawyers by the Labor Relations Institute for five consecutive years.
