    Topic

    Discussion

    Resignation – Yvonne Thomas & Vida Boyd

    Yvonne Thomas and Vida Boyd have relocated and resigned from the Shoals SHRM board effective July 2019.

    Sherry Johnson & Tiffany Brown with SHRM and ALSHRM have been notified.

    Crystal Wilson was asked by Yvonne Thomas, President, to step into the President board member vacancy.

    The board voted to remove Yvonne Thomas from the Shoals Chapter SHRM CB&S Banking account.  Each board member signed the form needed by the bank.  

    Legislative Update – Kim LaFevor

    Fall Hill Visit – Kim presented the board with the agenda for the upcoming hill visit in September. 

    Belinda Walker is taking the lead from Juanita Phillips. 

    Student Affairs – Chapter Advisors

    Kim presented the board with an email to all ALSHRM State Student Chapter Advisors.  Student interest in wanting to attend conferences is up. 

    Kim asked the board if Shoals SHRM could sponsor a hotel room for college students wanting to attend.  The board voted to sponsor one hotel room for ALERA Conference September 30 – October 2.   

    Questions – Are the schools raising any money for this?  Larger universities are having more difficulty with this.  The universities are trying to subsidize. 

    February SHRM Case Competition will be held at Athens State & the Regional Meeting will be held at UNA. 

    Judges(professional HR people) are needed for HR Games.  All of the local SHRMs will be asked to participate (NASHRM, TVC, Shoals SHRM)

    Student Affairs – Matt Oglesby

    Matt is working toward the following for the UNA student chapter:

    --Election of officers

    --Biweekly meetings on campus

    --HR networking luncheons

    --Company tours

    --Study Abroad

    --Students at February ALSHRM event

    --Students at each Shoals SHRM meeting

    --Student Chapter Logo and promotional materials

    Biggest Challenge – student turnover due to graduation. They can receive funding as a UNA RSO.

    Last year ended at 37 members and this year’s membership is starting out at 25. 

    Income Statement/Finances

    Christina Lewis presented the Income Statement for January 2019 – August 2019

    Balance - $10,855.46

    --Order new nametags in January

    -- SHRM Foundation Donation is due ($1000)

    Shoals Scholar Dollars 2020

    Shoals Scholar Dollars 2020 - the past 2 years Shoals SHRM did not make it in the sponsorship flyer and only 2 members could attend. 

    The Board voted to opt out of the $1,000 table sponsorship at the event and instead reduce the donation to $250 for Shoals Scholar Dollars.

    SHRM Foundation Change

     

    Initiative - SHRM Foundation $Change$ - we will continue to take up money each month

    UNA August Conference

    Conference participation was lower than normal this year.  We had 37 attendees and normally we have 50-60. 

    There were 5 paid sponsorships. 

    Expenses:

    Paid Joe Turner $1000, paid Jim Owens $108.89 for hotel, paid Andrea Lewis $108.89 for hotel, Charles Farrior - no fee.

    Discussion

    --There were not a lot of SHRM members present

    --Once UNA moves into the Collins Building, it is possible that we could hold the conference there and possibly hold it during a different time of the year.
