Pen
by Betty Lonis, SPHR |
|  Happy
Holidays!
I cannot believe that it is the end of the year already.
And for me, this year-end marks the end of my term as President
of HRACI. The last two years have gone by so quickly. It
has been an honor to serve and represent this chapter.
I have had the pleasure of working with a wonderful group
of volunteer leaders, both on the Board of Directors as
well as on the various committees. I want to take this
opportunity to thank everyone for their support and encouragement
over the past two years. Together, we have accomplished
so much, including the Indiana State Council SHRM Chapter
of the Year Award for 2004.
With all that said, I am leaving you in very capable hands.
Andrea Davis, SPHR, will serve as your new President. Andrea
has been instrumental in assisting with the change initiatives
for the organization over the last two years. And I know
that she will continue with these initiatives in the future.
I would again like to take the opportunity to recognize
the six Board members who are leaving their positions at
the end of this year. Kim Vosburg, SPHR, Past President,
Linda Phipps, PHR, Secretary, Patty Edwards, Director of
Legislative Affairs, Cindy Wenz, SPHR, Director of Education,
Rob Aspy, SPHR, Director of Diversity, and Helena Masters,
PHR, Director of Finance will all be stepping down from
the Board at the end of this year. Each of them has contributed
significantly to the Board and we thank them for their
efforts and commitment to this chapter.
And finally, the Board joins me in wishing you and your
families a wonderful holiday season! We hope you can join
us for our holiday celebration at our December meeting!
Please feel free to contact me at 317-277-5345 or president@hraci.org.
Happy Holidays!
Betty

New
this year: we are partnering
with Gleaners Food Bank of Indiana
who helps charities feed people
in need. Right here in Indiana,
there are 738,000 people who regularly
don't get enough to eat...28.1
percent of
the entire state's population are children under twelve who are hungry or are
at risk of hunger. That's 275,000 Hoosier kids who may not develop properly
for lack of nutritious food. 13.15 percent of Indiana's men, women and children
don't get enough nourishment to enable them to lead productive lives.
Please
bring non-perishable canned food
to the Holiday Celebration and help
end hunger in central Indiana this
holiday season. Each canned good
you bring gets you a ticket for the
door prize drawing!

| Thank
You Volunteers |
| On Monday, November 15th, seven
members of HRACI lent their talents to over 30 job seekers
at the weekly meeting of the Business and Professional Exchange
(BPE).
HRACI members Janet Pierson, Kim Vosburg, Wendy Coyle,
Patti Daniels, Kelly Gangl, Theresa Jasper, and Sara Rassmussen
met individually with BPE members for approximately 20
minutes each. They conducted one on one interviews and
provided advice on resumes.
This program was extremely well received by our BPE members.
I know our members benefited greatly; and, I think your
seven volunteers also enjoyed the experience.
It is our hope that this type of program can be offered
perhaps every six months, or even quarterly if the manpower
to staff the project is available.
A very special thanks to Janet Pierson for spearheading
this effort.
On behalf of BPE, a sincere thanks to HRACI for a job
well done.
Sincerely,
Jim Liston
Chairman
Business and Professional Exchange
