Last month, I had the pleasure of welcoming almost 1,000 of our Volunteer Leaders to SHRM’s Volunteer Leaders’ Business Meeting (VLBM). This was near-record attendance for this yearly event.

Raising awareness about the HR profession is one of SHRM’s most abiding missions. What better way to accomplish this than through the power of television – and through the voice of “real” HR professionals – not actors.
This week, SHRM was awarded a 2015 Gold MarCom Award for its 30-second TV spot “Working for Us,” which features three SHRM-certified members. The TV commercial is being shown on CNN, CNBC, MSNBC, FOX and Fox Business Network.
