Follow Up-Practioners Criticism into SHRMs Blog Squad Practioners Criticism into SHRMs Blog Squad The  SHRM 2010  annual conference is in the books. I think that by any measure it would be rated as highly successful. Prior to the conference I had a guest post,  Practioners Criticism into SHRMs Blog Squad.   My thanks to Jessica for giving me the space to share my opinion; I was honored to do so.   In the post, I questioned the wisdom of the make-up of the SHRM blog squad, chosen by the powers that be at SHRM.   My comments centered around this, there were not enough Human Resource Generalist in the group. While I still think that is the case, I must commend the  SHRM blog squad  they did a GREAT JOB! All of the bloggers provided a real flavor of the event, pretty much in real-time. I haven’t read all of the posts yet but hope to do so. Practioners Criticism into SHRMs Blog Squad In an attempt to support my position, I contacted  SHRM  to get some demographic data on the organization.   It took several days for them to get back to me but now I finally have the information I needed to support my case. Direct from SHRM HQ, generalist make up a large majority of members at a whopping 52%. After looking at this data, it would almost appear that they should have had more women blogging as well as women make up 77% of membership. Us HR pros have to hit our demographic numbers all the time, right? If so inclined I guess you could dissect this data in many different ways to get it to support many different arguments. So one more time, a big thanks to the  SHRM Blog Squad, and all of the conference bloggers for a job well done!
