DESCRIPTION
In the past several years, ILSHRM has strived to assist HR professionals to stay on top of the forever changing employment law at the state level with an annual conference. In 2011, our focus started to shift with introducing the importance of advocacy. We will continue to provide you with the latest trends and changes in employment law however, we will be focusing many of our efforts towards advocacy. As an 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.
