DIRECTORS & OFFICERS LIABILITY INSURANCE

In August of 1999 the SBHRA purchased D&O Liability insurance in the amount of $1,000,000. The Administrators renew this policy annually. Effective in 2003 Brown & Brown Insurance Services agreed to pay the premium cost and advertise that they are the Insurance Sponsor for the SBHRA.

SOCIETY FOR HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT (SHRM)

SBHRA is a large-sized chapter of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), the predominant national/international organization devoted to our professional development. We believe that this voluntary affiliation benefits both our Association and our members, and we actively attempt to fulfill our membership obligations.

In order for our Chapter to continue as a SHRM chapter, at least 30% or more of our members must also be SHRM members. Our chapter President and President-Elect must also be a SHRM member. Our chapter receives a small contribution twice a year for each of our members who is a SHRM member.

As SHRM members, we complete a Chapter Activity Plan (CAP) each year due by 1/31 for the preceding year. Presenting an excellent plan could lead to our chapter being designated a Superior Merit Award Program Winner. The ultimate chapter award is the Pinnacle Award.

PARTICIPATION IN STATE COUNCIL

SBHRA is an active participant in the California Human Resource Management Council, which meets twice a year. The President and/or a representative approved by the Board attend these meetings. Reports to the Board and/or Membership are expected.

PARTICIPATION IN SHRM CONFERENCES/MEETINGS

SHRM Annual Conference

The President and/or a representative approved by the Board attends this meeting. Reports to the Board and/or Membership are expected.

SHRM Leadership Conference

SHRM’s Leadership Conference is held in WashingtonD.C. annually. SHRM contributes to costs for: chapter President, President-Elect, chapter management professionals, and state council leaders. The President or President-Elect usually attends this meeting. Reports to the Board and/or Membership are expected.

SHRM LOGO

As a SHRM chapter we are expected to prominently display the SHRM logo and clearly indicate our affiliation with SHRM on all chapter communication pieces. SHRM has very explicit rules for using the SHRM Logo. If you need to use it, please ask the Administrator for the SHRM Graphics Standards Guide.

SHRM CHAPTER MERIT AWARD

The “Merit” or “Superior Merit” Award from SHRM recognizes excellence in chapter operations and a commitment to providing meaningful programs and services to members (a Chapter Plan documenting our activities is submitted annually to SHRM). For those years that we receive the award, the President’s name and year of presidency is added to a special Merit Award plaque, using the following protocol:

  • In March or April, the current SBHRA president will receive notification of the award status for the previous year.
  • Current President completes a form, indicating the name of the previous year’s President and returns it to SHRM.
  • SHRM engraves a nameplate and sends it to SBHRA president, who affixes it to the existing “award plaque”.
  • The President then presents the award plaque to previous year’s “winning” President (typically at a monthly luncheon).
  • That President keeps the award plaque for one year, at which time it is presented to the current President.
  • An article regarding the award should appear in the SBHRA E-Cast.
