SHRM 2010 SHRMs 2010 SHAPE Program for Chapters and State Councils * 43 Government Affairs In coordination with the SHRM Government Affairs Team (GAT), develop and implement a chapter outreach program to establish/enhance relationships with state and federal elected officials. Chapters are strongly encouraged to coordinate such efforts with the GATs Member Advocacy Specialist, ensuring consistency of SHRMs messaging on current HR public policy matters. Create a Day Inside the District Program, where members within your chapter can meet with their state or federal public policy-makers within the district. This includes inviting a state or federal public policymaker to speak at a chapter meeting. Create a Day Inside the Beltway Program, where members within your chapter can meet with their federally elected officials in Washington, D.C. Develop and implement (or maintain) an information sharing campaign to engage your members in the legislative process which include tactics such as: Presenting, at least quarterly, a legislative update at chapter meetings Providing, at least quarterly, a legislative update in the chapter newsletter (either online or print) A chapter representative attends the SHRM Employment Law & Legislative Conference and participates in the Capitol Hill Advocacy Day: Reporting back to the chapter on the conference and the Capitol Hill Advocacy Day is a great way to include the members in the experience. Share what you learned on your Hill visit through your update column in the newsletter or in your update at the chapter meeting.
