Although we'll be virtual due to Covid-19, we are going everything as if it was a normal year. We are still actively seeking judges for our virtual face-to-face competitions. The great thing is that you get to volunteer from the comfort of your home/preferred space. In addition to helping develop some of the brightest upcoming leaders that our nation & world have to offer. The dates are March 3-5, 2021, and will take place between 3-8 pm depending on the event.

Mid-Florida SHRM Members:

We here at Mid-Florida SHRM are concerned about your health and well-being. As a result, we are postponing our April business meeting to adhere to the social distancing guidelines. Please take this opportunity to continue to interact with each other through social media and other technology channels. We look forward to seeing you soon.

ATTENTION: Starting today, all credit card payments made to Mid-Florida SHRM will include a fee for tax. This will include website and in person payments. This is necessary due to the increased cost of payment processing. Keep in mind, any payments made by check or cash will not incur additional charges.

1/6/2020 UPDATE: We wanted to make a clarification to this posting. The increase being charged to credit card payments is due to increased service fees by the providers. We incorrectly stated it was a "tax". We realized that this caused some question to those organizations that have special tax circumstances.

Because this is a credit card service fee, any use of credit cards with Mid-Florida SHRM will be subject to the additional fee. As stated, all payments made in cash in person will not be charged.

The holidays are quickly coming upon us, and VISTE is in need of our help. Mid-Florida SHRM has volunteered to make Thanksgiving meal deliveries on Wednesday, November 27th, and we are hoping you can join us. We know the elderly will be incredibly grateful for your generosity.

We will be meeting at the RP Funding Center at 2:15pm on Wednesday, November 27th. Once there, you will be provided your deliveries and further instruction. 

If you are interested in volunteering, please email mfshrm@gmail.com with the word "VISTE" in the subject line. We are so thankful for your willingness to volunteer in our community in service to the elderly. If you have any questions, please let us know at mfshrm@gmail.com!

 

We wanted to take the time to encourage employers and members to participate and register for booth space at the Countywide College Career Fair, happening September 27th. All eleven higher education institutions in Polk County will have students attending. Last year, they had more than 200 students attend and 40 employers. It is a great opportunity for area businesses to recruit to fill their open positions or to connect with future employees. The flyer for the event can be found here.

The event will be on Friday, September 27th from 10:30am-1:30pm at the Polk State College Lakeland campus. Below you'll find the link to register through Handshake. You will need to set up a free account with Handshake (if you don't have one already), but after that the registration process should be simple.

Please be advised that first priority will be given to companies who have opportunities in Polk County. If there is still space at the event after those employers have registered, then companies with opportunities outside the county will be able to attend as well.
