By Belinda Weber, President Elect The Chapter Achievement Plan (CAP) is an important reporting document that is filed annually with National SHRM to share the successes of our chapter during the calendar year 2004, as well as to communicate the types of programs and services our chapter is offering our members and the community we serve. The CAP allows SHRM to ensure that the chapters are meeting or exceeding the guidelines for affiliation. It also establishes eligibility for local funding to the chapter. In past years, our chapter has earned the Superior Merit Award recognition for exceeding the guidelines and we anticipate continuing this honored tradition this year too! In addition to the national recognition, however, we also use the CAP for strategic planning purposes. At the February 2005 Board meeting, the GMA SHRM Board of Directors, along with the committee chairpersons, will be conducting a semi-annual review of our 2004-2005 strategic plans. This is our opportunity to ensure we are aligned with our mission, vision, and values and are achieving the goals and initiatives planned for the chapter. Prior to this meeting, Board members will be discussing the progress made on the current committee initiatives and will be sharing that information at this session. To continue
the planning cycle, we will have a comprehensive strategic planning
session in June 2005 to develop future goals and initiatives for
the chapter as we start the next fiscal year. Invitations will
be sent to committee members, chairpersons, and the Board. If
this is something you would like to be involved in, please contact
any of the Board members, or myself. We want to include everyone
in this process to make the chapter better. Everyone's feedback,
ideas and suggestions are welcomed. After all, it's your chapter!

See the list of volunteer opportunities available: Purpose: Our committee focuses on how Human Resource professionals can lend their skills and talents to the greater community. Activities: We will form a partnership with two community outreach organizations to assist them in various HR related needs, including but not limited to job coaching, interview coaching, resume building, networking, and so much more! Time Commitment: The time commitment involved is a member's capacity to participate-we offer opportunities to organize an entire event or participate in a piece of the event coordination. We will also solicit volunteers from the general chapter membership who can offer their time and knowledge in supporting our community partners. Contact Person: Jerry French, Karol Buckingham, Debra Martinez (board member) Membership Interaction Committee Members Purpose: This committee assists in facilitating interaction between and amongst all Chapter members, through various services and program offerings. Activities: The committee facilitates two new member orientation programs in May and October. We welcome new members by calling them and inviting them to the monthly Chapter meetings, as well as personally greeting new (and current) members at each meeting. The committee also facilitates ad-hoc member networking opportunities throughout the year. On an annual basis, we administer a Volunteer Member Survey to our membership, offering volunteer opportunities on committees and for ad-hoc programs. Time Commitment: The committee meets once every two months (for a two-hour meeting). Most of the communication/interaction is via e-mail and telephone. Committee members assist in facilitating the new member programs and periodic member networking activities. Committee members also rotate contacting new members prior to monthly meetings and attend monthly meetings to greet and interact with all members.

Committee members assist the students in selecting speakers for chapter meetings, providing internship information, attending monthly student meetings to update them on SHRM events and offering guidance in planning the SHRM Student Conference/HR Games. Members of this committee also help out with conducting mock interviews for college, secondary and middle school students; planning Student Night; and developing and promoting the scholarship program to students and professionals.
