SHRM understands how vital member participation is to advancing the profession. The SHRM Member Advocacy program is designed for HR professionals to participate and influence federal/state public policy and regulatory efforts. As a member advocate for the HR community, it is important that you keep your elected officials informed on how public policy issues can affect employees, employers, and the HR profession as a whole.
On November 19, over 200 HR professionals from across the country will visit Capitol Hill to meet with their legislators. In prepation for HR Advocacy Day, please take a moment to view this PowerPoint presentation on the logistics of conducting Capitol Hill visits, the Workplace Flexibility and Health Care Reform fact sheets, and the video to the right entitled "Lobbying Congress."
SHRM provides its members with other opportunities to let their voices be heard. Our Relationship Building Activities with public policymakers include:
- HRVoice - Write Your Elected Official
Day Inside the Beltway (DITB)
Day Inside the District (DITD)
