    Our Mission

    The SHRM Wyoming State Council was formed in 1986 and is committed to advancing the human resource profession and the capabilities of all human resource professionals by promoting SHRM and providing structure, leadership training, and educational opportunities for SHRM chapters and at-large members in the State of Wyoming.

    Public Sector Excellence Award
