The Kentucky SHRM Council is comprised of approximately 40 HR Volunteer Leaders dedicated to advancing and serving the HR profession in the State of Kentucky. Our mission is to promote the advancement of HR by supporting chapters, energizing and engaging members, and collaborating as a State Advocate with external partners. Our volunteers give of their time, energy, and expertise to advocate key HR initiates advancing the HR profession and having a successful impact to the bottom line of Kentucky employers.

Our State Council goal for 2022 is to BUILD BACK BETTER HR in Kentucky


It was a rough couple of years for all of us, and especially for those we serve: our HR professionals.  We believe that to accomplish our goal, we need to do the following:

Build a Better Board
Through growing the professionalism and leadership of our state and local HR leaders, giving them the resources needed for success and needed education through our state conferences.

Build a Better Workplace
Through driving workplace initiatives that focus on mental health, inclusion/diversity/equity and encouraging businesses down new pathways that lead them to be a Best Place to Work in Kentucky.

Build a Better Workforce
Through continuing our drive of the Bus-To-Business program in collaboration with the Kentucky Chamber Workforce Center and planting the necessary seeds to help our future workforce thrive.
