Still reflecting on what an incredible event we had last week at the Central California SHRM 2026 Workplace Symposium - Beyond HR: Leading Through Change. We had the opportunity to kick things off the evening before with an intimate VIP mixer, bringing together our speakers and HR leaders for meaningful, small-group conversations. It was such a special way to connect, exchange ideas, and set the tone for the day ahead. Feeling especially grateful for the people who made it all come together - our dedicated Board of Directors, inspiring speakers, generous sponsors, and the continued partnership and support from SHRM California. Your commitment to this community is what makes events like this so impactful. One of the standout moments was hearing John Bernatovicz share his HR Like a Boss message - leaving us not just inspired, but with real, actionable takeaways to bring back to our organizations and continue elevating the HR profession. We are proud to be part of a community that is actively shaping the future of work and carrying forward a vision of workplaces that truly work for everyone. Already looking forward to what’s ahead. ✨ Thank you to our speakers: John Bernatovicz, Leena Mendoza, M.S., ACC, Kelvin Jenkins, MBA, PCC, Laura Martina, Eric De Wames, Tara Fournier, SHRM-SCP, SPHR, MSHR, Jeanine DeBacker #CCSHRM #SHRM #2026WorkplaceSymposium #HRLeadership #HRCommunity #ProfessionalDevelopment #Gratitude
