Today post is from Cathy
S. Plouzek, PHR ILSHRM Directors– Spring 2013
Hey ya’ll! Happy Spring …
In my last update, I
outlined the direction and vision for ILSHRM for the next couple of years. Our theme is simple -- ILSHRM is HR
people helping HR people. During our
Annual Leadership conference last January, we used this theme to help refine
the ILSHRM Purpose, Mission, and Vision –
Purpose
|
|
We promote and support the interests, success and needs of our
members and the Illinois HR community
|
|
Mission:
|
|
Lead and serve our members as well as the entire Illinois HR
community by providing timely and relevant information, ongoing professional
development opportunities, and intra-state communication on issues of
interest in the field of human resources.
|
|
Vision:
|
|
Be the “HR HUB” and unifying voice in Illinois, supporting HR
professionals, business leaders, legislators and our communities.
|
|
One of the many ways
we promote and support the interests, success and
needs of our members and the Illinois HR community is to offer and/or support
five major conferences throughout the year:
ILSHRM Leadership Conference – January
ILSHRM and CIC-SHRM Legislative Conference – April
SHRM Annual Conference and Exposition – June 16-29, 2013
ILSHRM State Conference – August 18-20, 2013
SHRM Leadership Conference – November 21-23, 2013
The ILSHRM Leadership Conference is our annual
conference targeted at the volunteer board members of our ILSHRM Chapters. The
focus of this conference is to offer volunteer leaders a chance to network and
learn best practices that will help them strengthen the work of their
local SHRM Chapter. Each year this conference offers a deeper understanding of
how SHRM, the Illinois State Council of SHRM and Chapters support the HR
Professional.
We had over 130 chapter
leaders attend ILSHRMLead13 – our largest Leadership Conference to date! Plans are underway for ILSHRMLead14 and I am
very excited to announce that Pamela J. Green, MBA, SPHR – President and Founder
at Power Project Institute LLC and Former Vice President/Chief Membership
Officer at SHRM will be our keynote speaker.
Check out her promo
video and stay tuned for more exciting details.
In the past several
years, ILSHRM and CIC-SHRM has teamed up to host an Annual Legislative
Illinois is excited to host
the SHRM Annual Conference and
Exposition, June 16-19, in Chicago.
This year’s conference will feature keynote presentations from Fareed Zakaria,
Blake Mycoskie, Dan Pink, and Mark Kelly, plus over 200 concurrent sessions and
the world's largest HR exposition. A
special thank you goes out to Chicago SHRM … All volunteer positions are
filled!
The Illinois HR Conference & Exposition is
the annual conference of ILSHRM. Each year the event attracts over 600 human
resource professionals and vendors throughout the state of Illinois and across
the nation. Programs presented at the conference cover all aspects of the
SHRM Body of Knowledge. In addition to multiple educational opportunities,
attendees will also be able to network with fellow human resource
professionals, check out the latest and greatest services offered by the top
human resource vendors and have some fun at our social events. Check
out this video and watch keynote speaker Jason Lauritsen leads us in our first ILSHRM
Flashmob. Join in on the fun – August 18-20, at Drury Lane Dinner Theatre in Oakbrook Terrace. Registration
is now open.
HR ROCKS! HR ROCKS! HR ROCKS!
The SHRM Leadership
Conference is an event designed to give key SHRM volunteers the opportunity
to gain information about their volunteer role, network with peers, share
effective practices and challenges across regions, and engage with SHRM staff. This conference also features Capitol Hill Visits
where we have an opportunity to join fellow SHRM volunteer leaders and the SHRM
Government Affairs staff for a trip to the US Capitol.
I hope I’ve given you the information you need to consider joining
us at any or all of these conferences.
