Officer's Meeting Recap

Good afternoon officers,

I'm sorry for getting this to you all so late, but I have had a lot of homework. And, it involves a lot of reading. I won't give up though.  So, here's some of the things we touched up on.

    • $15 for HR Houston: access to events, learnings and HR in Your Neighborhood events
    • $79 for National SHRM: Mentoring program, scholarships, accelerated access for HR certification. Grants to pay for your certification test. 
  • Texas SHRM Student Games
    • March 7 to March 9
    • Derrell and that team won last year
    • jhyrom and this team will win this year
    • We have a legacy to defend
  • I've been working behind the scenes to get some type of internship/additional training.
    • UHD HR office is offering job shadowing opportunities
    • Unpaid during UHD HR office hours
    • Officers get first dibs
    • will let the rest of the SHRM membership know by the weekend
    • Don't forget to utilize the MDCOB career center to help you find internships and future careers
  • Blood Drive
    • If we host two blood drives, all SHRM members can apply for scholarships.
    • I have reached out to get more information about time frame; still waiting to hear back
  • Fundraising
    • work in progress. 
    • Keep coming up with ideas
  • Volunteering Event
    • Jhyrom has the contact information for animal shelter.
    • I reached out to the Houston Food Bank
    • Carolina: Please reach out ot Jhyrom, and would you take on this task?
  • Social Gathering
    • There was a poll for times to get together
    • Esmeralda is working on this
    • Looks like it's going to be bowling
    • This is on your own dime
    • You don't have to play or eat, but it would be nice to just hang out with our SHRM officers as a team.
I'm still working on other things for you.  Fatemah has reached out to HR Houston to bring us a couple more guest speakers. I will continue to work behind the scenes to get you the best possible support.

We are the faces of UHD SHRM, so please speak positively of the HR profession and of our group at all times. I am here to support you. If there's anything you need from me, I'm just an email away. If I don't have the answer to your questions, I will move mountains to find the answer for you. 

Thank you for being you!  Let's keep pushing forward and making magic happen!

Sincerley,
Tony!
