The SHRM Legislative Conference is interesting, yo.
- I checked in at the press desk and was greeted by China Miner Gorman, SHRM’s COO. She is lovely and has dogs. Great start to the conference.
- I live tweeted the mid-day luncheon with Lon O’Neil and Harold Ford Jr — I had a great seat but forgot my camera. I was encouraged by a very sweet HR colleague at the table (Erroll) to run up to Harold Ford Jr and shake his hand. I did, and then I giggled like a dork.
- Apparently, SHRM’s marketing and advertising folks have learned about Twitter because I overheard their Director of Public Affairs, Amy Thompson, talking about my tweets.
I haven’t attended any of the sessions, yet, because I’m too busy talking about HR, blogging, and social media. That’s a good sign, right?
I have a lottery ticket — Fistful of $50s — for the first SHRM attendee who comes up to me and tells me that they read the blog Fistful of Talent.

I wish I was there
If you run into Carrie Cherveny from HR Florida, say hello for me. She is the Federal Legislative Affairs Chair at HR Florida State Council
About those tweets, SHRM is starting to follow people now, including me. They’re going to be disappointed.
I’m surprised that SHRM is having any involvement with Twitter, that is a sure sign that sadly it has jumped the shark. It’s like that feeling when your grandma tries to add you as a friend on facebook.
Also, just voted for you in round two of FOT’s March Madness round 2, your currently trouncing Taleo.
Wow…I’m pretty amazed that you’ve gotten SHRM’s attention about Twitter. Now I’m impressed. Bowing down…
I wish I was there!
You
