May 2018 Chapter of the Month

Greater Philadelphia

Congratulations to the May Chapter of the Month, Greater Philadelphia. At the beginning of 2017, the chapter created a "Total Member Value" initiative to connect everything the chapter does back to the value provided to members. This initiative drove all aspects of the chapter including the conference, where the goal was to build an experience for each group the chapter serves: internal practitioners, 1099 individual practitioners, and sponsors. The chapter identified Drexel University to be a co-sponsor; Drexel would provide the space for free and co-market the event. The chapter offered continuing education credits, which allowed them to cross market with SHRM, adding even more value. The conference experience extended past the one-day event. Sponsors were given the opportunity to sponsor a lunch-and-learn event in later months, and conference attendees could attend those future events. Overall, the conference sold out available sponsorships and received very high marks from participants and members.
