I just returned from the Ohio SHRM State conference and was reflecting on the trip. I had a lot of time to relect - 7 hours in my S10 to be exact. The conference was in Steve Browne's words AMAZING, and I agree. I was fortuntate to hear some talented people present on some pertinent topics (that is another post in and of itself). I also met a lot of nice folks from the Buckeye state. And I also got renew some old friendships.
The more time you spend with people the better you get to know them. The whole program was themed with Rock | HR Rocks | and Rock Stars. Well I hung out with a true rock star, and an HR guy. My buddy Brad Galin is a rock star.
That's Brad with the shades on. HR guy by day - rock star conference attendee at night. I have met Brad before but I got a chance to spend time with him at OHSHM as a fellow out-of-stater. Brad works by day in the not-for-profit sector. He is also active with the Indana State Council of SHRM.
It is alway enjoyeable to spend time with someone who is like minded, and Brad and I share a number of similiar interest.
I plan to stay in touch with my neighbor to the east over in the Hoosier state, and look forward to catching up with him soon. I plan on attending thier State Conference in Indiana next year. Lastly, I had to put up the post so that I could make him the talk of the office with his rock star pictures. There are a few more here.
