Marcia had received a request for a paid speaker that we will consider at our next meeting. That consideration can also include if this is something we do on our own or jointly. She continues to work on topics for spring 2016. The suggestion was made to have someone speak on SHRM certification.

  • President-Elect vacancy – There was discussion in consideration of Bob assuming the role of President Elect.
  • Certification recognition: Deb Thomas is leading this effort. A suggestion was made to give folks ribbons that were given to us from SHRM to recognize their certification. There are also things on the SHRM website we could purchase for this purpose. The idea of giving a chapter gift for any certification (SHRM or HRCI) was discussed.

New Business

  • Workforce Readiness Extension: Nancy presented on behalf of Kristi -Shikellamy has asked for our assistance for a Technical Writing assignment. Dates needed are October 27 through October 30th
  • Nancy has received some suggestions from the state board meetings for updates to our bylaws and this is something we will need to undertake.
