2009 SHRM Kansas State Conference

Celebrating Twenty Years of HRising to New Heights

This year marks the 20^th anniversary of the SHRM Kansas State Conference.  We are thrilled to host it in Topeka, and want to mark the occasion with outstanding speakers, exhibitors, sponsors and opportunities to learn and win prizes.  

The conference will be held September 23 through September 25 (Wednesday through Friday) at the Kansas ExpoCentre and Capitol Plaza Hotel in Topeka, Kansas.  The conference kicks off Wednesday morning with the annual Russ Blosser Memorial Golf Tournament.

You won’t want to miss our three-hour pre-conference General Session “HR Means Business: How to Write A HR Strategic Plan” featuring Margaret Morford.  Participants will walk away from this three hour workshop with a strategic plan for their organization.  Wednesday evening we will celebrate at a reception with entertainment and an opportunity to network.  Visit the vendor booths and register for the grand prize, a trip to the SHRM National Conference in 2010.

Margaret Morford will return to give our keynote address Thursday morning.  Other distinguished keynote presenters include Kimberly Ayln, Eric Chester and Timothy Davis.  In addition, we are very excited to offer an informative and entertaining assortment of talented speakers for breakout sessions.

We will also continue our ‘Giving” tradition by having Contribution Raffles.  Bring a toy for the Toys for Tots raffle.  You may also want to buy tickets for the SHRM Foundation raffle which offers prizes contributed by SHRM members.

Come and join us as we celebrate this special anniversary of the SHRM Kansas State conference.  It is certain to provide a great time of networking, learning and celebrating.  We can hardly wait to share it with you.

Yours truly,

Renea Dennison
