“I joined Dodge County SHRM in 2014. I am the HR Manager for a food production plant with 300 employees locally. The chapter gives you access to networking opportunities in our local community and is also a great way to stay familiar with local trends and legislation. The monthly lunch and learns have been a fantastic opportunity to broaden knowledge about issues that are evolving. It is important to be aware of all of the local issues too which can lead to improvement in employee engagement, reduction in turnover, and the ability to be competitive. I bring other members of our HR team as well as our safety team to many of these events and they all feel there is value and something to learn from each session. The people in the chapter have been very inclusive and supportive when we have asked for resources or how other businesses are handling issues. The chapter leadership takes suggestions to improve the programming and guest speakers and events each year. I was proud to serve on the board as the chapter earned a 3rd Pinnacle Award for work with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the community. This chapter has been value added for our business and the community!” Thanks guys!

“I have been a member of Dodge County SHRM since 2008. This is one of the most organized groups that I have been involved with. It also has the friendliest people around. I look forward to the monthly meetings. Each month there is a different speaker/topic. Dodge County SHRM is top notch!
