23. SHRM Government Affairs in Maine
Maine is special! Our Constitution calls for a participatory
citizen legislature – it’s our heritage and a double-edged
sword.
Begs your input, but tends to create laws because “it’s what
we do” (Ken can tell you more about our moralistic political
culture)
This may put us at odds at times as HR professionals want to
be able to do what we do best without well intentioned,
sometimes unnecessary bills.
As Mainers, we are tasked with speaking up!
24. SHRM Government Affairs in Maine
Our Biggest Gift As HR Professionals
Educate…
…and we may need not legislate
Use our expertise to craft P&P, train and
help set workplace standards so the first
thought is to come to HR, not, there
oughta be a law….
25. SHRM Government Affairs in Maine
Tips
• Get to Know Your Senator and
Representative if you have not already
• Recall that Maine has term limits – since
1993 Senators & Reps serve 2 year terms,
limited to 8 years
• Learn who serves on key standing
committees like Labor and Insurance &
Financial Services
26. SHRM Government Affairs in Maine
Tips
• As an HR professional in Maine, you are
speaking for yourself, the HR profession
and probably your company
• These may not always be in sync
• Be clear about which hat you are wearing
when you contact your legislators
27. SHRM Government Affairs in Maine
We may win some, we may lose some, but
we are all Mainers so it’s important to be
gracious
We are not lobbyists, but can decide to
engage lobbyists on a particular matter
Our hope is to become the go-to association
for all things HR!
