Welcome to
the Southside VA SHRM, Chapter 587!
On our
website you will find the meeting schedule, special programs locally and
nationally along with other "key" information for the chapter.
We invite
everyone involved with HR duties to attend our meetings. Our membership
information is also attached on this site. Our goal is to bring new HR
information and laws to the membership and community. We are very proud of
our different seminars offered throughout the year and in depth
topics/discussions at the monthly meetings.
As an HR
professional, you will find our local organization to be friendly, fun and
rewarding! Many of our local members are also National SHRM members. SHRM
offers a great avenue for HR professionals to obtain endless information
related to our profession.
Southside VA
SHRM has received the Superior Merit Award from the National SHRM for the
past several years. This award is attributed to our participation in
education of the local youth as well as the displaced workers in our area.
SVSHRM is also very proud of the scholarships we offer, growing
professionals at the local colleges. Other areas that have led us to this
award are our Workers Compensation Seminar, focus
on recruiting and retention of members, and education of HR legal issues.
We also received a Membership Superstar award last year for having a 10%+ growth in National SHRM membership. .
We are very
excited about the new and exciting items on our agenda for 2009. We have a
great celebration luncheon scheduled for Administrative Professionals Day
on April 22nd, everyone is invited so watch for details. We have a Diversity Seminar planned for June 19th and plans
are well on there way for a Workers Compensation Seminar this
year. We are also very excited, to hopefully once again, have the SPHR/PHR
certification preparation course offered through DCC at RCATT. This course
plans to start in the fall of 2009 and is very affordable. David Siler, the
instructor has a 90% pass rate for those who have taken the training course
under his instruction. Those who took the course, in Danvillle, in the
spring of 2007 said David did a great job last year and they enjoyed his
lectures.
Our meetings
are held typically the last Wednesday of the month. Please email Bill
Smith at bsmith@pccainc.org for information on membership. We invite
anyone involved in Human Resources to attend and join our meetings.
We hope to
see you at our next meeting and if you have any questions please feel free
to contact me.
