Hello SESHRM Members!

While there may be mixed feelings out there, pumpkin spice is here, fall décor is popping up, football games have kicked off, and our mornings are starting out a bit cooler! With fall comes lots of exciting things for our chapter! Coming this fall, we will have Board Elections, membership renewals, nominations for Workplace Excellence of the Year and HR Professional of the Year Awards, our Student Chapter will begin meeting again, and USF will be hosting another SHRM Certification Prep Course!

We are so grateful for our members and the talents each and everyone of you have. Please consider getting involved where you have a passion. Watch out for exciting announcements regarding our HR Professional of the Year and Workplace Excellence Awards – then consider who you could nominate in the respective categories. Nominating takes a little thought, but not a lot of time and the value of that recognition pays dividends to that HR Professional or that employer.

If you have a passion for getting involved in the next generation of HR Professionals, reach out to Kassie Van Wyk and ask how you could give a presentation at a Student Chapter Meeting, provide an internship or job shadow opportunity for a student, or consider mentoring!

Lastly, please be sure to refer to the Sept 9^th email regarding the membership renewals for 2023. Renewals will open October 1^st. Our Membership Rates are increasing for the first time since 2013. We are looking forward to a busy fall within the chapter. Don’t forget in December we will come together to celebrate each other and another amazing year!

Sarah
