What 2024 LEADHRS Graduates Are Saying
Curious what past participants have experienced in the program?
I joined from a CLA perspective, and it was beneficial to hear how our assignments were used at the chapter level and how I could integrate them into my CLA role. Every session was a great reminder of how each of us can lead and lean on one another to be successful.

"I had the privilege of attending the Texas SHRM LeadHR program this year, a comprehensive six-month experience that provided invaluable learning and growth opportunities. The program offered practical tools and insights that I can now bring to the table as President for 2026, as well as apply in my current role as HR Director. I highly recommend this program to anyone who is a leader, aspiring to become one, or serving on their SHRM chapter board of directors."

"Completing the Leadership Training Program was an incredibly rewarding experience that provided me with both inspiration and practical tools. The most impactful part for me was creating a comprehensive strategic plan—translating leadership concepts into a clear, results-oriented roadmap. I am grateful for the chance to walk away with something so concrete and meaningful."

"The LeadHRs program opened my eyes to new tools and gave me a deeper understanding of how to apply them in my chapter leadership and professional life. My executive coach was the saint I never knew I needed—she helped me see things in myself that I couldn't see alone. I highly recommend the LeadHRs program to future chapter leaders!"
