Strong chapters are built on clear strategy—not guesswork. How do you create alignment, set meaningful priorities, and drive sustainable success? This session breaks strategic planning into clear, practical steps that begin with a strong foundation. Participants will learn how to move from vision to action using simple tools and an easy-to-follow framework. Dr. Jeannette Cook will guide participants through the core elements of effective strategic planning and show how to intentionally build a strategy with clarity, focus, and purpose.
Register now for the Washington State SHRM Volunteer Leaders Summit. This event is designed to facilitate an engaging and insightful gathering for the dedicated volunteer leaders representing our 15 exceptional chapters across the state.
Event Focus:
The Volunteer Leaders Summit is designed to offer volunteer leaders resources and community to enhance leadership skills and impact. We will have a guest speaker to get us all engaged and excited for the year to come and then spend time building connection and understanding.
​
Attendees will engage in targeted discussions regarding their specific volunteer role with their counterparts from other chapters. It will allow seasoned volunteers to share best practices, new volunteers to ask questions, and for everyone to build community within the WASHRM community. These conversations will help volunteers have a deeper understanding of their roles and how to have positive impact as they serve on their chapter boards. It will also give valuable insights to the WASHRM Directors so we can help ensure WASHRM is able to be a resource for chapter volunteers in the upcoming year to address challenges, opportunities, and build collective understanding.
We look forward to seeing you there and working to continue to build a cohesive and impactful future for SHRM in Washington State.
Warm Regards,
WASHRM Leadership
