State councils provide a structure for key volunteer leaders in the state to consult together on the affairs, activities, needs, and problems of SHRM in the state. They also provide structure to adopt programs that promote the progress and welfare of SHRM, including providing channels of communication between chapters, state councils, and area boards; services to members of the human resource management profession within the state; and leadership training at the state level. If you would like to become involved in the Kentucky SHRM State Council, contact the Kentucky SHRM State Council Director Trasee Whitaker, SPHR at twhitaker@whf-law.com or 502-581-8034.
