I have joined another LinkedIn group, and
you should join this group too. The group is aptly named
the Illinois State Council of the Society of Human Resources Management. This group was created by
John Jorgensen, SPHR. John is the President of the
Illinois State Council of SHRM. I might also mention that John is pretty good fellow. I have met him at a couple of SHRM events and he is a good person to know. The state council coordinates the activities of all chapters on a state-wide level. In fact, our chapter has four members on the state council, Donna Rogers, Bob Hotes, Amy Byers and Tami Ireland.
The only criteria for becoming a member of the new linkedin group is that you must be a member of either SHRM national, or a local chapter, either one but not necessarily both.
So click on over to this group, request to join and we will see where it goes.
If you have questions or would like to know more about this social media thing, you can
contact the webmaster for some back and forth email, or a phone call.
