What an amazing way to celebrate 10 years! 🎉💙

Our 10th Annual SHRM SWFL Supervisors Conference was one for the books! We sold out of in-person registrations and had 200 people registered between our in-person and virtual attendees!

What a tremendous day of learning, networking, and growing with HR and business leaders from all over the community, as well as the state!

A HUGE thank you to our members, friends, volunteers, sponsors, speakers, and everyone who supported us along the way. We truly couldn’t have done it without you!

We are so grateful for this incredible community. Cheers to 10 years and many more to come! 🥂
