โThe members of our SHRM student chapters represent the next generation of HR leaders, and their passion, talent, and commitment are vital to the future of our profession,โ said Johnny C. Taylor, Jr., SHRM-SCP, President & CEO, SHRM. โThe accomplishments of Athens State University SHRM reflect the innovation, leadership, and dedication that will shape tomorrowโs workplaces. I applaud their success and ability to drive innovative programming, professional development, and a deeper interest in HR.โ
