Shoals Chapter SHRM

 

---

This message is to inform you that this year’s Alabama SHRM State Conference originally scheduled for May 11th and 12th has been postponed to September 21st and 22nd at the BJCC in Birmingham, AL. 

The Executive Committee of the Alabama SHRM State Council thoroughly considered the safety of attendees and the impacts on work schedules and compliance with work policies regarding events and travel due to current concerns regarding the Coronavirus. 

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and look forward to seeing you in September. 

We have devised 3 options to best accommodate everyone: 

1. Automatically transfer your registration to the new dates of September 21st and 22nd. This includes anyone who registered using the early bird rate.

2. Apply your registration to the 2021 State Conference; expect the dates for 2021 to be back in the Spring.

3. If you need a refund, we are able to process those as well less the processing fee (varies on the amount). 

Please email jack@relaxitshandled.com which option you prefer by Friday, April 3rd. Please be sure to make the subject of your email ALSHRM REGISTRATION REQUEST.

If we do not hear from you by that time, we will assume you prefer to transfer your registration to the September event.

Again, we apologize for any inconvenience.
