Janel Cross Bio
“Having joined the industry in 2001, days before the 9/11 terror attacks, I know the debilitating power of fear. In 2007, I launched my firm, Align, just months before the Financial Crisis. I’ve been blessed to endure and succeed in hard times in spite of fear and uncertainty, the same things faced by hard-working folks trying to save for a brighter tomorrow.
This understanding and a tireless determination to positively impact the lives of others are at the heart of everything I do.”

Samm Smeltzer Bio
Samm Smeltzer, PHR, SHRM-CP, Founder and Chief Vision Officer, The HRart Center
Samm Smeltzer has passionately pursued the missing elements for employee engagement within organizations, and this path has led her to a place the working world often avoids, Spirituality and Eastern Medicine. She has since combined both her roles as an HR Visionary and a Medical Qigong Healer to heal disengaged workplaces and guide leaders and employees to discover their own professional purpose and passion.
Prior to this journey, Samm began her career serving as an HR Manager within two U.S. based retail companies and was responsible for multiple store sites in various states. She then transitioned industries to healthcare where she developed and implemented company-wide educational programs for leadership and staff at a large Central Pennsylvania Healthcare System. Samm has functioned as a consultant to enhance team and individual performance. Samm’s dedicated efforts resulted in multiple awards, two of them being 2013 Organizational Learning & Development Educator of the Year and Penn State’s 2015 Outstanding Graduate Student in Training and Development. Samm’s experience combined with her desire to create workplaces with thriving employees resulted in the creation of the HRart Center (pronounced “heart”), a boutique consulting firm devoted to corporate wellness and growth. She is the author of three books, the newest of which is called Workplace Healers. HR leader, Qigong healer, coach, author, and avid podcaster, Samm Smeltzer is on a mission to revolutionize HR and heal the working world.
