WI SHRM 2026 Volunteer Leader Conference Recap
This August, more than 100 volunteer chapter leaders and Wisconsin State Council directors gathered at Lake Lawn Resort in Delavan for the 2026 Volunteer Leader Conference for two days of high-impact programming, meaningful connection, and practical tools to lead their chapters forward.
VLC 2026 welcomed SHRM National's Heather Merrick, Members & Community Director, and Jason Glass, SHRM MAC Representative, who joined in celebrating the impact of Wisconsin's volunteer leaders.
Congratulations to our 2026 Award Winners:
🌟 Rising Leader Award — Ambar Sanchez
🏆 Lifetime Leader Award — Jeff Palkowski
🕊️ In Memoriam Lifetime Leader Award — Tony Renning
Attendees also enjoyed a Trivia Contest and gave back through SHRM Foundation fundraising — including the Gift Card Pull, Sip Selection, Silent Auction, and Marshmallow Drive.
To every volunteer who showed up, engaged, and led — thank you. You are the backbone of WI SHRM!
See you at VLC 2027 | Hilton Paper Valley, Appleton, WI
