The State SHRM Conference was held September 15^th to 17^th in Sioux Falls, I hope you were able to attend. Planning for this conference has been in the works since February 2020.  A huge shout out to Jen Adix and Lisa Schenk for being co-chairs for this event and to ALL the volunteers that step up to make this a successful conference.  A lot of time and energy goes into planning the State Conference which was multiplied by planning during COVID.    

Salary Survey:

On a bi-annual basis SESHRM partners with Gallagher to complete a local salary survey. That data is collected and compiled by Gallagher and then shared with the participants at no cost.  The SESRHM Salary Survey has been sent to all SESHRM members that participated in the survey.   If you didn’t participate but would like to purchase a survey the cost is $300 for SESHRM members and $400 non-SESHRM members.     

Here’s the link to purchase the survey:  https://www.seshrm.org/Sys/Store/Products/268814.

Professional of the Year Awards:

Do you know someone that has made significant contributions to the Human Resource Management and represents “the best” in the Human Resource profession?  They are strategic business partners - individuals who serve as role models for the profession, who are 'leaders' rather than 'followers', who set standards for others and the profession, and who apply their professional expertise outside of their organizations.    You can self-nominate or nominate one of your peers!   Go to www.sehsrm.org under the News tab. 

Have a great September!
