Therefore, others will get the benefits of your attendance as well.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Recertification</strong></li> </ul> <p>If you need Recertification Credits, remind your supervisor the Alaska SHRM State Council Conference is a great way to earn HRCI and SHRM credits. </p> <ul> <li><strong>Coverage While Away</strong></li> </ul> <p>Explain what your plans are regarding how your projects/tasks will be taken care of while you are away.</p> <ul> <li> <h2><strong>Payment</strong> <strong>Information</strong></h2> <ul> <li><a href="https://alaska.shrm.org/sites/alaska.shrm.org/files/AKSHRM%20W9%20-%2020... alt=" (PDF)" class="docicon" src="http://alaska.shrm.org/sites/all/themes/shrm/img/icon_pdf.gif" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></li> <li>Alaska SHRM State Council, P.O.
