2017 has been a full and busy year for ILSHRM. From our
Legislative conference in April all the way through to the State Conference at
the end of September our Board has been working hard throughout the year to
keep HR practitioners in Illinois abreast of all the changes that this year has
brought. As with any business, it is often the busiest and most tumultuous
times that teach you valuable lessons in both organization and leadership. It
is through that that we are excited to announce that we are growing our board

business and career. Effect change, gain leadership experience, grown your
network, receive professional and personal recognition. Get involved today!
