This Superior Merit Award winning student chapter from the College of Business and Economics at Boise State University is part of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM). The chapter promotes HR and serves the community.
Next Meeting:
Wednesday, December 2, 2009 at 6:15pm in the Ah Fong Room of the Student Union Building.
This is James Pendergrass, President of the Human Resource Association and I wanted to let you know that during our membership meeting next week we will be voting on changes to the constitution of the Human Resource Association. I have attached two documents; One is a full copy of the club constitution with the changes highlighted, and the other only shows the changes being made. The vote will take place during our meeting next Wednesday, November 4th, 2009 at 6:15pm in the Boyington Room of the Student Union Building.
The biggest change being made is the official addition of a new officer position, the Merit Award and Achievements Officer. This position was previously known as the Merit Award Officer which was a temporary position added last year and that greatly helped the HRA in achieving it’s goal of earning the Superior Merit Award from SHRM. Another change being made is to the title of Director of Activities, which will now be known as the Director of Recruitment and Activities. These changes speak to the tremendous growth the Human Resource Association has experienced in the last couple of years. By making the Merit Award and Achievement Officer a permanent position, and with the changes to the Director of Activities position, we will put in place mechanisms that will help the organization grow and be successful well into the future. Other changes are minor in nature and reflect the growth of the organization since it’s inception.
Please review these before coming to the meeting next week, and if you have any questions feel free to contact me. We will briefly go over the changes during the meeting before voting. I ask all club members that are able to attend to please do so, but I also understand that family and school come first. Hope to see you there!
