Greetings, LSHRM friends. Can you believe that it’s June? While I’m ready for summer I realize how important it is to cherish every day and not wish it away. 

Our chapter has had a pretty packed spring with activities this year and I’m excited that we will have our first LSHRM Book Club this month and will start out reading Engaging the Heart for People, Performance, and Profit: Seven Competencies of Compassion@Work, Author R. Brayton Bowen AM, SHRM-SC. June 1, 2022. All members who have expressed an interest have been contacted and anyone who still would like to participate in future readings can reach out to me this month.

It is also wonderful to let you know that due to the incredible work of our chapter leadership and members in 2021, the Chapter received SHRM’s Learning System Champion Award and Foundation Champion Award in recognition of its efforts to educate and develop HR professionals. 

LSHRM is committed to excellence in the practice of human resource management and is Kentucky’s largest professional human resources organization with more than 500 members.  LSHRM provides consistent, relevant programming to address the needs of its members and the community. 

Finally, our Board and Special Events Director have some fun networking opportunities coming your way soon. Stay tuned and as always, my friends, be safe, stay well and be compassionate.
