October 2019 note from the editor

    Hello HR Professionals!

    The SHRM fall conference season is in full swing! We kicked it off in Louisville with the 34th Annual KYSHRM Conference August 28-30. What an exciting conference it was! We have the highlights for you on Page 32 and 33. Please check out our Facebook Live interviews with the keynote speakers and HR thought leaders from the conference. Just “like” our Facebook page in order to receive instant notifications of our live interviews from the conferences as they occur. I invite you to follow me on YouTube also at Cynthia Y. Thompson, MBA, SHRM-SCP, SPHR to view all our videos from the SHRM Conferences.

    What a great time we had in Atlanta at the Excellence Through Leadership Conference sponsored by Strategic HR Partners! Please see Page 28-29 for our exciting photo layout of the conference. I think you will enjoy our live interviews with the keynote speakers and thought leaders from this conference on Facebook and YouTube. Be sure to check out the SHRM-Atlanta Symposium highlights on Page 51. We will have highlights of the 2019 MSSHRM Conference in Tupelo, the 2019 TN SHRM Conference & Expo in Chattanooga, the 2019 ARSHRM Employment Law and Legislative Conference in Little Rock in our November issue. We can’t wait for the 2019 ALSHRM Strategy in the Sand Conference at the Perdido Bay Resort in Orange Beach on October 11!
