Shaping the Future of our Chapter!

2008 Chapter Goals

During 2007, the Cyclone Chapter of SHRM worked very hard to strengthen the foundation for our local chapter. Our executive committee set the following goals for 2008:

2008 Cyclone Chapter of SHRM Goals & Objectives

Membership Development

  • Contact local chamber offices in Nevada for business listings.  Create invitation to membership.  Efforts result in 5% membership increase.

  • Encourage SHRM's At-Large members to become local chapter members through personal contact and follow-up.
  • Increase networking opportunities through structured activities on a quarterly basis. 

Community Outreach

  • Partner with local community college to publicize a new HR Certification program to be offered late 2008.  Offer involvement opportunities to chapter members.

  • Research philanthropic scholarship opportunities as a way to promote Human Resources in the community and make recommendations for 2009.
  • Prepare a generic business card and stationary for the chapter for distribution by chapter members and officers.  This will enhance public awareness of the chapter’s existence and meetings. 

College Relations

  • Increase student attendance at monthly meetings.

  • Assist ISU in establishing an internship program for local student members.
  • Co-sponsor a student chapter event on campus once each semester.

Professional Development

  • Advance the profession by providing educational support to those seeking HR certification.
  • Upon certification, the chapter will provide a one-year free local membership.
  • Provide links to HR educational, legislative, and informational resources through Chapter website.

  • Provide limited funds for President or President Elect to attend SHRM National Leadership Conference.

Chapter Development

  • Increase yearly SHRM Foundation donation by 10% over previous year.

Seeing these goals become reality will take effort from all of us.  If you have an interest in helping us acheive our goals, please contact a member of the Executive Committee. 

Thanks to all for what we accomplished in 2007 to build this chapter; we look forward to another exciting year in 2008!
