📅 Join SHRM North Central Florida on August 13 at 5:30 PM!

📍 NCCER

Hiring isn't always black and white. Sometimes, the best talent deserves a second chance.

Join us as Dawn Chiadikobi leads an insightful discussion on Second Chance Hiring and explores how HR professionals can balance compliance, risk, and compassion while creating opportunities that change lives.

As HR leaders, we're tasked with seeing the whole picture—not just what's on paper. A fresh start for one person can become a life-changing opportunity for an employee, an organization, and an entire community.

Whether you're navigating background checks, developing fair hiring practices, or simply looking for a new perspective, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

🎉 This event is FREE, but registration is required!

📝 Register today: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1994899413848?aff=oddtdtcreator

✨ Come learn.
🤝 Come connect.
💡 Come be part of the conversation.

We can't wait to see you on August 13 at 5:30 PM at NCCER!

Join SHRM NCF’s Second Chance Hiring event to connect, learn, and support fresh job opportunities in person!

Now it’s time to nominate the leaders who are shaping our profession.

Nominations are officially open for the 2026 SHRM Florida HR Professional of the Year Award, and I cannot encourage this enough—take a moment to think about the HR professional who is making a real difference.

The leader who shows up consistently.
The mentor who invests in others.
The chapter volunteer who gives their time selflessly.
The behind-the-scenes powerhouse driving impact without ever asking for recognition.

Our profession is filled with remarkable individuals whose passion, leadership, and commitment elevate workplaces, communities, and the future of HR across Florida.

As someone who deeply believes in celebrating excellence and lifting others up, being recognized by your peers is incredibly meaningful. Sometimes all it takes is one person believing in your work enough to say, this person deserves to be seen.
