We took part in the weekly SHRM Twitter Chat called #nextchat. https://blog.shrm.org/blog/nextchat-recap-boomers-hr-and-an-aging-workforce This is a weekly discussion on various HR topics. You answer 8 questions during the course of the twitter chat. This is a great way to keep up to date on various HR subjects and to make some great connections within the HR community. As an ulterior motive, we also use these twitter chats as a way to look for possible HR talent for cavnessHR.
