The first two quarters of 2014 have been extremely busy for DirectEmployers Association staff and Members. There have been many opportunities to showcase our products and services to the Human Resources industry.
Why do we jump on planes and fly across the country with handouts and PowerPoints? Because there is strength in numbers and the more companies we can introduce to DirectEmployers, the more opportunities we have to grow our membership base.
Providing innovative partnerships that bring new solutions to our Members is also a benefit of attending conferences and exhibiting at trade shows. We are more likely to learn about new startups with new technology that way.
Here are just a few of the events we have attended this year:
- 1/26-1/30 IBM Connect 2014
- 2/20-2/21 NASWA Winter Policy Forum
- 4/29-5/2 2014 SWARM Regional ILG Conference
- 5/13-5/16 American Association for Affirmative Action (AAAA) Conference
- 6/8-6/10 NACE 2014 Annual Conference & Expo
- 6/11-6/13 HCI Strategic Talent Acquisition Conference
- 6/22-6/25 SHRM 2014 Annual Conference & Expo

Several of our Member companies were able to attend some of these conferences on our behalf and present about their experiences with compliance as well as the employment branding solutions through the My.jobs platform generating more interest from other companies to learn about DirectEmployers Association.
In addition, some of the DirectEmployers staff have the opportunity to work more closely with partners and Members who are attending these conferences and collaborate more strongly on ideas and initiatives that benefit the membership as a whole.
This time spent networking, advertising and evangelizing is time well spent with the end goal always about growing the membership and providing a stronger core to produce better products and services to the whole.
