SHRM and State Council Booths at State Conference
On behalf of the Wisconsin SHRM State Council, we are pleased to extend a formal invitation for you to become a member of a local SHRM affiliate chapter. This opportunity recognizes your experience and dedication to the HR profession.
As you attend the WI SHRM State Conference at the Kalahari Resort in Wisconsin Dells, October 8–10, we encourage you to visit two key booths located just outside the exhibit hall:
- SHRM Booth – Discover the many benefits of SHRM membership.
- WI SHRM Booth – Learn how joining a local affiliate chapter can enrich your professional journey.

If you are a SHRM national member but not yet affiliated with a local chapter, stop by the WI SHRM booth to find out how you can enter to win a complimentary membership to a participating chapter of your choice. Many chapters offer virtual options, making it easy to connect with the HR community regardless of your location. Click here to explore chapters in your area.
Already a member of both SHRM and a local affiliate chapter? Fantastic! Be sure to visit the WI SHRM booth to pick up your updated chapter ribbon and proudly display your affiliation throughout the conference. It’s a great way to welcome new members and show your chapter pride.
We look forward to seeing you at the conference and thank you for your continued commitment to the HR profession.
