What Our Volunteers Say

Phil Williams, MS, HDR

Contract HR Business Partner, DEI Champion, Coach & PhD Scholar

"Over the years, I have enjoyed the deepening of relationships through long-lasting connections, even with those who are not active in the chapter! I look forward to being in service to others as a volunteer with SHRM-Atlanta in the future. Volunteering allows my strengths of being a relator, a developer, an arranger, and a WOO (winning others over) to be out in the open for others to experience. "

Dr. Aisha Wright-Burke

"Having the opportunity to volunteer has been an extremely rewarding experience. What I’ve enjoyed most is getting to know other SHRM-Atlanta members within and outside of the committee I led. It was much more meaningful compared to when I only attended chapter meetings. My role as a volunteer was essential in developing my collaboration, team-building, and leadership skills. Being able to serve my profession and an organization that provides extraordinary benefits to our community adds another layer of personal value to the volunteer experience."
