Share Your Knowledge

The Middle Tennessee SHRM Programs committee invite members of our business community, academic scholars, and subject matter experts to share their experiences and best practices with individuals in the Human Resource profession. 

Submit a Presentation for Consideration 

SUBMISSION DETAILS

We ask that topics focus on one or more of the competencies as defined by the SHRM Body of Competency and Knowledge (SHRM BoCK™), which identifies the key behavioral competencies and technical expertise HR professionals need for effective job performance. Additionally, we also look for submissions that meet the HRCI Business Credit criteria as these are the most highly desired by our membership. All submissions should include a compelling description and at least three (3) actionable learning objectives. When submitting your presentation, please check the box that you would be willing to conduct this presentation as a panel discussion and would be responsible for securing panelists if requested to do so. You do not have to confirm all panelists prior to submitting your presentation. If your session is selected, you can form your panel based on speaker schedules.
