About WISHRM

During this time of the year, it is important to pause and be thankful for the wonderful contributions our volunteers and partners have made throughout the year.  Thank you so much to all the State Council and Chapters leaders, state conference co-committee volunteers, and our partners that support us.  Your support, hard work, and dedication have made 2016 a VERY successful year.    In particular, I’d like to recognize our Council and Conference Committee leaders that are transitioning out of their roles this year:

• Colleen Koerth, Membership Director
• Susan Richardson, Certification Director
• Lisa Henke, Conference Liaison Director

• Sue Estes, District Director – South West
• Choua Yang – Diversity, Inclusion, & Workflex Director
• Matt Bucher, State Conference Committee Co-Chair
• Kellie Dunn-Poggemann, State Conference Committee Co-Chair

Thank you all for your commitment to WI SHRM! 

In addition, I’m happy to introduce our new Council leaders and state conference committee co-chairs for 2017:
