Quarterly Newsletter

On behalf of the 2018 Board of Directors, I would like to wish each of you a very Happy New Year! We look forward to working with each member this year. In fact, we will need each member to step up to the plate and help the chapter with many big things!! Out of the gate we have our January Chapter meeting, Sexual Harassment Awareness and Prevention in the Workplace – a Panel Discussion open to the public and a day-long Strategic Planning Workshop all in the first 30 days of the year!

Beyond that we are planning for the following:

SHRM Certification Classes

Certification study groups

4th Annual Job Fair

State Conference in New Orleans

Annual Seminar

State Leadership Seminar – held locally

Roll out of Scholarship Program

Community Involvement

Partnership with the Chamber of Commerce

Membership Drives

After/Before Hours Events

Monthly Chapter Meetings

By Laws Review

As you can see, we will have a lot to offer. A handful of people can’t do it all, but the combined power of over 100 members can!! Please contact me as soon as possible to let me know where and how you would like to help this year.

Thank you

Joe Sharp
