Reports

• Secretary (Pollard)

Lisa moved to approve the minutes from April, Marcia seconded and the motion passed with no discussion.

• Treasurer’s (Long)

Expenditures included the sponsorship for the Women Symposium ($500) and the Pinnacle Survey ($650). Several additional dues were received after the treasurer’s report was prepared. The only outstanding expenses are for the last two months of speaker fees.

Rita made a motion to accept the treasurer’s report. Dave seconded and the motion passed unanimously.

• Membership (Moyer)

There are 3 or 4 new applications that will be emailed for approval. Joyce Jamisor was approved as a new member.

We have had concerns expressed by members who say they are not receiving the program notices. This could be a problem with having both a SHRM and Yahoo email account. Discussion was held regarding if we needed two accounts. This make it difficult to assure that both accounts have updated member lists. when someone leaves so we get them off the Yahoo email and also add others. Not everyone can access the Yahoo account. The group felt that we should use the SHRM email tied to our website instead of Yahoo. It was also noted that if the applicant sets up their profile indicating they do not want group emails, they will not get the program and other notices. Marcia, edie and Lisa will review the two email accounts to determine which account will best meet our needs.

Applications can be submitted on the website or they can complete and submit an application. It was suggested that we eliminate the Join Now button as this creates confusion. Presently, we accept members and then wait for payment, we would have less challenges with dues collection if we had a way to have them pay first. The membership committee will meet with recommendations on how we can improve our membership, fix the website and generally improve the process.

It was also suggested that we add membership details, i.e. cost on the website.

To clean up our membership list and collect outstanding dues, Dave went through

the directory. He contacted those with outstanding dues but often had to leave a

message. His efforts were effective in getting several members back in the fold

and also identifying others who should be removed from the membership roll.

Bloomsburg University is trying to reestablish its SHRM student chapter. We will

connect with them.

• Program Committee (Cooney)

Marcia has several ideas for topics. Discussion on the SHRM versus HRCI certification was one idea noted. Phyllis Hannah – our SHRM region person might be a contact for this. Identity theft as it relates to HR and record keeping was also mentioned. Joint meetings with the West Branch remain an option.

The programs over the year were excellent as evidenced by strong attendance.

Topics for discussion at the meetings include a review of our website, introducing the Board and their roles, introduce members (pull a business card?) and explain our dues structure. It was suggested that we give out a handout in November that explains the structure and the benefits of prepaying.

• Seminar/ Education Committee (Ritter)

We will again have a free admission to the Symposium. Whether to give it away or have a Board member go was discussed. Patty said that she would go and represent SHRM.

• Public Relations Committee (Pollard)

Recommend that we do a Linked in account. Karen had indicated that she would lead our networking efforts. Is this something she could do? Keeping the account fresh and updated is high maintenance and it may be blocked by companies and therefore not be easily accessible to all members.

• Labor/Legislative (Wolfe) –

John gave a handout on PA legislative information as well as EEO statistics and will tyr to have that to the website by the end of the week. He is now an advocacy captain for the 10th district in PA so John will become that person with Tom Marino. This can become a SHAPE initiative for us.

• Scholarship (Greene,Ritter)

This year we sponsored John to go to national SHRM conference. He could

present on the conference in September.

• Workforce Readiness (Tamecki/Cellitti)

Nothing until next year.

Old Business

The Bylaws were reviewed and accepted with minor revisions.

New Business

Discuss was held on our recently added open time at the beginning of the meeting. It may be helpful to get feedback from attendees regarding its value. Different ideas were proposed to make the time meaningful.

It was suggested that we have informal discussions over the summer. This was

not something that the Board was able to support.

We need someone to assume the role of President Elect for the next year. Some of

the duties of the role were reviewed. Dave also indicated that he had a

spreadsheet that detailed the duties. Nancy agreed to accept the role of President

Elect on the new board.

The Central Susquehanna COC is looking for a spotlight group. This would be a good opportunity for us.

It was suggested that we have a Board meeting in August to prepare for the new year. A dinner was suggested and the group agreed.

Next Board Meeting

August date to be announced.

Adjournment

With no further business, Shelly motioned to adjourn the meeting with John

providing the second and all approving.
