Washington State Council - SHRM Survey

Dear Washington State SHRM Member,

Thank you for being a member of SHRM! The Washington State Council is sending out this survey to learn more about how we might better meet the needs of SHRM members in Washington State. As you may know, we have many resources provided by SHRM, from their national presence to our State presence, and finally the presence of local area chapters.

We would appreciate 5-10 minutes of your time to complete this questionnaire. As an enticement, we will enter your name into a drawing and will be giving away 4 separate $25 gift cards to four lucky participants! (Please make sure to complete your name and contact information towards the end of the survey, so we can send it to you.)

Thanks much, Ruth M. Alstadt, Washington State Council Membership Director
