From the State Director 
Nancy Bass, SPHR, SHRM-CP
State Director, 2014-2015
417-575-3513
Missouri State SHRM Volunteers,
Greetings! I hope everyone is enjoying the extended spring weather! The lazy days of summer will be here soon, but it seems like it never
slows down in HR; especially for those of us who also volunteer for SHRM and
other great organizations!
Our MO SHRM State Conference is rapidly approaching and we've extended the Early
Bird Registration through Friday, June 5 to give you a few more days to save money. I look forward to seeing all of you at the Conference! It will be a great time of learning, networking and friendship!
Please be sure to take advantage of our online collaboration tool for all of the SHRM Volunteers in the Missouri. You can use it to share documents, network, calendar meetings, ask questions and share ideas and best practices with your volunteer peers around the State. The link to access this tool is http://moshrm.teamwork.com. Let me know if you have forgotten your password to the site.
As always, I truly appreciate the commitment and dedication from each of you in your volunteer role. Please don't hesitate to contact me or anyone else on the State Council if you have any questions, concerns, feedback or ideas!
Warm regards,
Nancy

Shara Gamble, SHRM-CP, PHR
Director, Certification

We are all getting used to the new certification credentials and thanks to a national push by SHRM, CP and SCP are finding their way into several business conversations. If there was any good to come of the HRCI and SHRM breakup, perhaps it was attention to our profession. As the PR people would say, "no publicity is bad publicity". Take advantage of the media flurry and use it to your advantage - join the conversation!

College Relations Core Leader Area
Leigh Anne Campbell, SHRM-CP, PHR
Director, College Relations 
417-887-4990 ext 2703
On April 24-25, MO SHRM supported two students from Missouri
State University with a $500 grant to participate in the SHRM
Student Case Competition and Career Summit for the Central
Division in Covington, Kentucky.
Both students provided a summary of their experience. Their trip was a success and
both expressed gratitude that MO SHRM State Council assisted them financially. One commented it was such a wonderful experience he has committed to fellow students
he'd be willing to tutor and coach a team for next year's games.
That's why MO SHRM supports and promotes the HR profession among students; to see others use their knowledge to encourage and motivate others!

Chapters Celebrate HR Day
Southeast Missouri Recognizes
Human Resource Professionals
The Mayor of The City of Sikeston, Steven Burch, signed a proclamation to thank all Human Resource professionals in Southeast Missouri. As part of that celebration, the SHRM of Southeast Missouri invited all members to a breakfast. This was a nice relaxing time to unite and socialize with a few new members and first time attendees.

Tri-State Area HR Day
In Joplin we had a great HR Day celebration! We hosted a come and go social event at the Joplin Area Chamber of Commerce attended by 30+ HR professionals throughout the afternoon. We even had a visit from State Representative Tom Flannigan.
A good time was had by all and we gained two new members to the Tri-State HRA chapter. We're proud of our success in handling our own social media push about the event using Twitter and Facebook.
