SCIHRA Wins the Chapter of the Year Award at the Indiana State SHRM Conference

There's no place like first place!  And it's even sweeter when it's your first win!

The South Central Indiana Human Resource Association, where as serve as a member and the president of the Board, was recently awarded the Chapter of the Year award at the Indiana State SHRM Conference.

This is the first time we have won in our history.  We submitted the nomination based on the work we have been doing to advance the profession of human resources, and to serve the human resource professional in our community.  Our vision is to be the recognized authority on HR in the south central Indiana community...and this award goes a LONG way to help us achieve that vision.

Of course none of this happens without the dedication, creativity, persistence, and talent of an AMAZING Board of Directors, the support and resources that the Indiana State Council provides to us, and the amazing organization SHRM, which we are affiliated with.

We were awarded this great honor at an Awards banquet during the Indiana State SHRM Conference, and then our video submission (which had nothing to do with our winning the award) was played for 1100 participants at the Wednesday luncheon.

What a whirlwind we've been through this past year and it is great to recognized for this achievement!
