Angie Schaefer Goes to Washington
SHRM's Advocacy Team (A-Team) regularly consults about the workplace and advocates for employers by promoting beneficial legislation. HRMA St. Louis Past President and Missouri Lead Award winner, Angie Schaefer, has worked with the advocacy team for a number of years. In early December, Congress called on Angie to testify on behalf of SHRM and offer SHRM-developed H.R. 4219, the Workflex in the 21st Century Act. See article here.

HRMA's Day on the Hill
SHRM advocates on the local level as well. Missouri SHRM State Council members, including a number of chapter Presidents, participated in the Missouri Day on the Hill on Wednesday, January 31st. Past HRMA St. Louis President, Jim Paul, and SHRM Director of Congressional Affairs, Lisa Horn, provided education prior to the visits. This was a great opportunity to let our leaders know that we are available and ready to offer input when needed.
