LETTER FROM THE 2018 PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

April was a great month of local and state SHRM events. I enjoyed spending time with you at the LA SHRM Conference, LA SHRM Legislative Day and our April monthly meeting. We appreciate our continued support from Kwik Clinic and thank Jennifer Barnett for her presentation. I hope that you will be able to take advantage of the many resources from the Louisiana Workforce Commission that Jennifer shared with us.
 
Our chapter also received great news this week as we have been designated as a SHRM Foundation Chapter Champion. This is based on work completed in 2017, so we extend our congratulations to the 2017 Board of Directors and Members that made this possible.
 
We are excited to announce that we will once again be at The Greystone In Mandeville for our annual forum. Be sure to mark your calendar now for October 11th!
 
In the meantime, we hope you will join us on May 10th for this month's professional development meeting at the Holiday Inn Covington location. This will be an important update to your current emergency preparedness planning.
 
Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions. You may reach me at  cmyers@starcla.org .  I look forward to getting to know each of you and supporting the advancement of our profession on the Northshore. 
 
Kind Regards,
 
Christy Myers, Ph.D.
NSHRM 2018 President

Northshore SHRM receives Prestigious Award!

Through NSHRM's 2017 Board of Directors efforts Northshore SHRM has been awarded with the SHRM Foundations Chapter Champion award. The award is provided by the SHRM Foundation for efforts in fundraising for the SHRM Foundation by leading a campaign, making donations, and hosting fundraising events. 

The SHRM Foundation uses every dollar it receives from chapters and members to  deliver 300 + scholarships this year and continues the work to engage and integrate military veterans in the workplace.   Additionally, contributions support the launch of Innovation Grants , the newest funding opportunity that supports SHRM state councils and chapters working to improve their communities and build inclusive organizations.

Congratulations go out to the 2017 Board of Directors and members for supporting these awesome efforts.
