On October 5th, 2011 WV ESGR appeared before the  the annual meeting of West Virginia state SHRM assembly in Bridgeport, WV, and took the opportunity to speak on WV ESGR and have SHRM sign a new Statement of Support. WV ESGR was then surprised to receive the state SHRM annual Workforce Readiness Award. 

Forty-five SHRM leaders and associates were in attendance for the award presentation - a 4"" by 6" crystal plaque, to be displayed in the office of the Adjutant General.
