September 2022 note from the editor

What a special issue we have for you! I am so honored and excited to present our 12th anniversary issue! We are celebrating 12 fabulous years at HR Professionals Magazine this month! Hat’s off to our sponsors, contributors, and YOU for making these past twelve years so successful! We are honored to be the official media sponsor for the SHRM State Conferences in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Tennessee. What a pleasure to work with the SHRM State Councils and the SHRM volunteers in our distribution footprint! I also want to say a huge thank you to the extraordinary SHRM Public Affairs team who graciously works with us to bring you the latest SHRM educational opportunities, updates on SHRM Conferences, and breaking news in the HR community!

We are kicking off year twelve with four important SHRM Conferences in September including the Alabama SHRM Employment Law & Compliance Conference in Auburn September 5 enjoying the Labor Day weekend at the resort! We will be in Sevierville for the Tennessee SHRM Conference & Expo September 14-16. Lastly, we will be in Savannah for the SHRM Georgia Conference and Expo. Looking forward to seeing Johnny C. Taylor, Jr. there as the keynote opening speaker! It will be a very busy and exciting month! If you are at the conferences, please come visit us at our booth!
