The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) in Alexandria, VA has awarded the Superior Merit Chapter designation to the GMA SHRM chapter for its scope of work in perpetuating and supporting the mission of the organization in 2004! "By achieving Superior Merit designation, your chapter has distinguished itself as an outstanding organization dedicated to serving the networking and professional development needs of your members and to the advancement of the human resources profession" noted Keith J. Greene, SPHR, Vice President for Member Relations for SHRM. The award recognizes professional chapters of SHRM for their exceptional ability in operations, the professional development of chapter members, promotion of the profession and support of SHRM in partnership. GMA SHRM will receive a Certificate of Recognition, a specialized banner to display at our meetings and events, and will be recognized in SHRM's publications and at its conferences. CONGRATULATIONS,
GMA SHRM! Media Relations…Back in Action After a few dormant years, GMA SHRM Media Relations is revving up again, and we are looking for chapter spokespeople. Our goal is to compile a list of dependable chapter members who understand the demands of press turnaround time and are able to say things in unique and interesting, but concise, ways. Our chapter spokespeople should know the general business of human resource management, and/or can offer specialized knowledge in areas such as legal/compliance, outplacement, labor relations, training and development, and other topics related to HR. The time commitment is minimal - the key will be your desire to represent SHRM and advance the HR profession through a constructive interaction with our press contacts. If you share your HR knowledge with fellow members through Local Net topics, acting as a chapter spokesperson may be a great way to also communicate with the general public. And if you are new to the role as a media spokesperson, SHRM offers excellent resources and support to prepare you for interviews and other contacts with the media. Interested?
