SHRM and SHRM NYS Advocacy Pays Off
Earlier this year, SHRM and the SHRM New York State Council (SHRM NYS) advocated for several bills pending before the New York state Legislature, including SB 4358, state Sen. Jamaal T. Bailey’s bill that would expand the veterans tuition awards program to allow the transfer of unused benefits to a spouse, survivor, or child. This legislation aligns with SHRM’s advocacy on behalf of pools of untapped talent, such as veterans, who provide unique value to organizations willing to make the effort to seek them out. The legislation now awaits a vote in the state Assembly.
