Welcome to the website of the CT SHRM State Council. On this site you’ll find lots of valuable information, resources and ways to connect with other HR professionals. We are pleased to provide you with this information, and would love to hear from you.
The CT SHRM State Council has provided some great educational opportunities so far this year, as well as providing networking events for the HR community. For example, in April we presented an extremely successful Diversity and Inclusion Summit, which also was certified for strategic credits through the HR Certification Institute. We have partnered with CBIA on their HR Conference and have some exciting things planned for the fall. We host a webinar series that continues to grow and brings more information directly to you on timely and relevant topics.
Our major event, the 2012 Tristate HR Conference, is held every two years, and is well on its way to being another amazing and successful event, bringing Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island together. In 2012, it will be held in Springfield, MA from April 25-27, so save the date on your calendar. For more information, visit http://www.tristatehrm.com/.
There are many opportunities for HR to make a difference in business and within our communities in CT. The CT SHRM State Council is in the forefront to help provide resources to the HR community to continue to provide critical guidance and direction to our organizations, remain competitive and current, and be a strong HR resource. We are very interested in finding out what else we can do to help you in your professional life, so please contact me or any member of our state council if you have suggestions, ideas, or would like to get involved.
As a human resources professional for many years, my participation in local chapters and SHRM has greatly enhanced my own professional and personal experience. If you are not yet a SHRM or chapter member, I strongly encourage you to go to a local chapter meeting, or get more information by contacting a volunteer leader at the state council or chapter level. Their names are available through links on this website.
As those of us in HR know, human resources is a key to organizational success in these difficult and challenging times. SHRM and the local chapters are a valuable part of this success, and we welcome you to join us.
Best regards,
Janine G. Dunn, SPHR
State Director, CT SHRM State Council
