Welcome to the SHRM Georgia State Council Website

This site can be a resource to find local chapters, sign up for meetings, conference and events, as well as providing timely HR updates.  


Join HR leaders, innovators, and change-makers from across the state for three days of powerful insights, transformative strategies, and practical tools to elevate your workplace at our October 8-10th Conference & Expo.  The full agenda is coming soon. 

To help you plan attendance, the conference start will be 11 a.m. on October 8th, followed by a full day of speakers on the 9th with a half day schedule of sessions on Friday.  We will wrap up by noon on Friday October 10th allowing time to travel home for the weekend.



On Saturday, April 5th, we proudly hosted the 2nd Annual SHRM Georgia State Council Student Case Competition at the Terry College of Business on the University of Georgia campus. Fifteen students, forming three teams from across the state, came together to showcase their expertise in human resources, case analysis, and strategic problem-solving.

Congratulations to University of Georgia Team 1—Josh Zehe, Reymi Reyes, Sally Bae, Sammy David, and Tess Thomas—who claimed the top prize! Their victory earned them first-place medals, complimentary registration to the 2025 SHRM Georgia State Council Annual Conference & Expo, and of course, a full year of bragging rights.

A heartfelt thank you goes to all the students who competed, to Lynn Guhde and the University of Georgia for graciously hosting the event for the second consecutive year, and to the SHRM Georgia State Council leadership for their continued support.

We’re already looking forward to next year’s competition!
