Dear Chapter President:

The Minnesota State SHRM Council exists to serve the 15 local chapters within Minnesota. A Speakers Bureau is being created to ease the burden of finding competent, affordable speakers for monthly chapter meetings. Please provide the information requested so that we can build our data base. Once that is finished we will provide a listing of speakers and programs so that Program Directors can search and find speakers for your chapter meetings. We are asking to go back one year, if possible, to provide information and evaluations on past speakers. We believe this data base will continue to grow and provide a tremendous resource and service for all chapters within the state. Please forward this e-mail to your Program Director for the information requested. In addition, if your chapter has used an evaluation form, please send a copy to me. The information requested for each speaker you have had for the last year is as follows:

Name of speaker
Business Name
Address, City, State
Phone
E-mail
Fax
Program Topic
Program Title
Length of program
Handouts provided?
Date of presentation
Fee, if any
Mileage paid?
If submitted to HRCI, was HRCI credit awarded? General or Strategic?

Don't get hung up on not providing all the information requested. At worst, a name and phone number will do.

We don't want a data base of every program presented. If your chapter can not recommend a program/speaker, don't submit it. This data base will only consist of recommended program/speakers.

You can e-mail or send by regular mail any information.

Thank you for your assistance.
