Welcome to the 23^rd Annual Iowa SHRM State Conference, “The Amazing HR Race”!

The conference planning committee has been working hard for almost two years trying to put together a fabulous group of speakers and activities that maintains the quality of state conferences in years past.  I thank each of them and their respective committees for the hard work and dedication that they have shown.

Speakers will be discussing very timely topics; from Healthcare Reform to Social Media in the Workplace.  We will have sessions on Employment Law; Benefits, Compensation & Wellness; Communications, Training & Technology; Workforce Planning & Employment, and an entire track on Strategic Management for those with their SPHR designation.  Those with a GPHR designation, rest assured we will also have sessions meeting your recertification needs.

This year we will be piloting a new on-line registration process that I hope you find to be very easy.  We will be asking a few more questions upfront to gather additional information, but this information will assist us in the final phases of organizing a pleasant conference experience for you.

We have also kept in mind the fact that the economy and many employers may still be struggling to control expenses.  As a result, we have kept the rates for this year’s conference at the same level as when we last hosted in 2007.  We hope that this helps to solidify your decision to attend the 2010 Iowa SHRM State Conference.  It will prove to be a conference well worth your attendance.
