Celebrate HR with 600 Friends Hello fellow HR Pros! Can you believe it's nearly June? Time is flying by and we are gearing up for another great KS SHRM Annual Conference! Our Conference Chairs, Tami Seaman and Craig Poe, and the conference planning committee have been busy finalizing our speakers and schedule to bring you our best event yet! This year's theme is "Back to the HR Future" and we hope you will join us in Overland Park to learn, connect with your peers across the state and help us celebrate our conference's 30-year anniversary! Please visit our conference website for all of the particulars and to register. As an attendee, our annual conference offers just about everything you need to be at the top of your professional game. You will hear from inspirational keynote speakers including Risha Grant, Eric Chester, Dr. Marche Fleming-Randle, and Paul Long! We also have an excellent lineup of breakout sessions - follow one of our predetermined tracks or feel free to explore and choose the sessions most relevant to you and your role. New this year - check out our interactive track to get hands-on experience in key areas like compensation and even a mock trial! With all of those great educational opportunities you can earn up to 11 hours of recertification credit towards maintaining your SHRM and/or HRCI credentials. We are also pleased once again to offer a pre-conference workshop for those of you wanting a few more credits or nuggets of wisdom! This year's workshop is on "Permission: Granted to Get Rid of Your B.S." with Risha Grant. This workshop will earn you another 2 hours of recertification credit and includes lunch. Best of all, over this 3-day conference you will connect with HR peers from across the state, have the chance to share best practices and find insights and solutions in our Marketplace! When I first started attending the KS SHRM Conference I will admit I was a bit shy and didn't see the value of talking with vendors or creating new connections with my fellow attendees - but my perspective has definitely shifted over the years! You never know what will come out of these connections; how they may impact your success and that of your business - I say, go for it! We are so excited for this year's conference and hope that you will join us in Overland Park, September 11-13! Thank you for your support of Kansas SHRM!
