Urgent: Need Volunteers - NSHMBA National Conference

    The 2014 NSHMBA National Conference and Career Expo Career Management Center (CMC) will be held in Philadelphia, September 25 -27 at the Philadelphia Expo Convention Center. 
     
    This year’s conference is expected to attract 5,000 professional participants, including MBA students, and 200 major corporate exhibitors. CMC services will be delivered in 12,000 sq. ft. of dedicated space, including program specific room setups.
     
    They would like to partner with local SHRM chapters and they also need lots of SHRM volunteers to help with volunteer opportunities listed below.  At previous national conferences, NSHMBA successfully partnered with SHRM chapters in Atlanta, Austin, Chicago, Los Angeles/Orange County (PIHRA), Minneapolis, Orlando, San Antonio and the Texas State Council.
     
    SHRM members who have participated in prior national conferences have called this event one of the best volunteer opportunities they have experienced; providing not only an opportunity to build pro hours, but also to work with top talent at an exciting and vibrant event.
