Hi < manager’s name >,
I’m requesting your approval to attend SHRM-Atlanta’s Annual Conference, SOAHR.
SOAHR is the premier metro Atlanta HR conference, produced by SHRM-Atlanta and featuring 50+ speakers, industry resource partners, and networking opportunities. SHRM-Atlanta is one of the top associations for individuals in the HR industry, with 2,000 members in the metro area.
Attending SOAHR will allow me to connect with a network of peers and thought leaders in HR, learn about the latest trends and changes in the industry, engage with diverse resource partners, and bring back tangible ideas to our team. Some of the topics presented at SOAHR include: employment law and compliance, HR as an integrated business function, measuring impact, and workforce management.
This two-day conference is a cost-effective investment in my professional growth and, by extension, our team’s success.
