SHRM Volunteer Leaders are the backbone of our chapters and councils you are dedicated, passionate with big hearts. Whether you are a volunteer leader for your local chapter, a member of a student chapter, or a Wisconsin State Council director, the 2026 WI SHRM Volunteer Leader Conference is built for you:

  • Fresh insight on SHRM’s strategic direction—so you’re not just keeping up, you’re leading forward.
  • Practical tools and proven strategies to sharpen your impact as a volunteer leader.
  • Meaningful connections with fellow leaders from across Wisconsin who understand the challenges and the rewards.
  • New ideas and real-world inspiration you can bring straight back to your chapter.

Whether you’re stepping into leadership for the first time or you’ve been carrying the torch for years, you’ll leave sharper, more energized, and better connected than when you arrived. Expect conversations that spark ideas, sessions that challenge your thinking, and relationships that last long after the final handshake.

The WI SHRM Volunteer Leader Conference Committee is building a dynamic experience filled with high-impact programming, engaging activities, and opportunities to strengthen collaboration across our state.

You’ll walk away with:

  • A deeper understanding of SHRM’s vision and mission
  • Clear alignment with Wisconsin State Council SHRM priorities
  • Practical knowledge of the SHRM Core Leadership Areas
  • Stronger strategies for building lasting partnerships between SHRM, WI SHRM, chapters, and members

Two days that recharge your leadership battery, expand your network, and equip you to serve your chapter with confidence and clarity. Let’s raise the bar together.
