Alaska SHRM State Council

Welcome to the Alaska SHRM State Council

Welcome to the Alaska SHRM State Council’s website! We hope that you find the information presented through our site informative and helpful. Please take a moment to check our 2012 Board of Directors. As you will see, it is a top-rated group of HR professionals passionate about advancing the profession and serving HR professionals across our state.

We don’t have to tell you that Alaska is a unique place. Not only because of our geographic location, but because of the vast number of urban and rural areas we serve. It is our desire to create synergies among our 4 affiliated SHRM Chapters and 1 Student Chapter to better serve the approximately 850 HR professionals in our state. But we cannot do it alone. I look forward to hearing from you all on how we can improve your experience as HR professionals in Alaska and any other suggestions especially from those of you in areas without a near-by chapter on how we can better serve you.

Technology is making our job a little easier. For the first time last year, we were able to offer webinars (4 total) with relevant information, pre-approved for HRCI credit –and that were also complimentary! We will continue that program and invite you to check the Meetings and Events tab for additional information and registration information.

This is a year of particular significance for Alaska, as we will host the 2012 NHRMA Conference in Anchorage in early October. Not only will we have an opportunity to gain new knowledge and best practices, but also network with our colleagues from Washington and Oregon State.

We have lots more in the making and we will publish all our goals for the year in early February. Hopefully you may be interested in volunteering and/or sharing ideas with us that will help us continue the upward path that the Alaska SHRM State Council has been following over the past 10 years.

I thank you all for your continued support and invite you to bookmark our page http://alaska.shrm.org and stay connected with us via Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter to get up-to-date information on complimentary educational opportunities, articles of interest and more!

It is humbling to have the opportunity to serve as your State Council Director. I appreciate all the efforts of the former State Council Directors to get the organization where it is at now. They have created a strong foundation that will allow us to continue leading the Alaska SHRM State Council on the right path.

Here’s to a wonderful year!

Sincerely,

Patty Hickok, SPHR, GPHR

2012-13 Director, Alaska SHRM State Council
