Spring has sprung (finally)! What a treat!

A BIG Thank You to our Spring Planning Committee for all their work on putting together such an engaging and thought-provoking Spring Conference. Mother Nature threw us wild ball; however, this committee was able to pivot on a moment’s notice and still bring us an impactful conference. What an eye-opening session on elevating our confidence to the next level. I know that I will be implementing some of the tricks and tips that Treva presented to our group. Hopefully you all enjoyed!

Thank you as well to our SESHRM Spring Conference Sponsors, Sanford Health Plans, UKG, Think 3D, Well365, Woods Fuller, Time Management Systems, University of Sioux Falls, Paychex, Workforce, and Short Staffed, Inc. The generosity of our sponsors is a huge help in bringing in top notch speakers.

Congrats to Kristen Steen, winner of the SDSHRM State Conference Registration (Megan Petermann is the alternate), and Ashley Anderson, winner of the one-hour session with Treva!

Congratulations to our Conference Scholarship winner, Stephanie Clenney. She will be attending the SHRM Talent Conference & Expo taking place this month. We look forward to hearing all about it!

Our April meeting will be held on 04/16 and we will be welcoming Jackie Payne. Jackie will provide an overview of the FranklinCovey approach to coaching effectively and will provide a set of mindsets, toolsets, and skillsets that – when implemented intentionally- will unleash greater potential in others.

There is still time to register for the State SHRM Conference, April 30th – May 2nd in Pierre. Diverse breakout topics will include Culture, Legislative Updates, Employee Relations, Talent Acquisition, AI and more. I look forward to seeing you there!

I wanted to remind our group that the May Monthly Meeting will be held on May 20th (Monday), rather than the typical Tuesday.

Have a great April.
