Chapter Activites by Month – June

Please ensure that your chapter board has taken care of these items:

• Promote the SHRM Annual Conference via e-mail to all chapter members.

• Be sure that you are maintaining your chapter affiliation requirement throughout the year.

Dallas HR Report

DallasHR will be celebrating its 75th anniversary as an organization with special appearances by past presidents and an opportunity to walk down memory lane with a visual story board of local HR throughout the decades.

Our speaker, the very funny Glenna Hecht, is going to pay homage to the changes in "Personnel" over the last 75 years in her presentation "From Talkies to Selfies: The Revolutionary Changes in the Generations."

We held our second annual Catamaran Dinner Cruise on Lake Lewisville on May 1 to support the SHRM Foundation. Our guests enjoyed a beautiful sunset cruise with dinner, drinks and dancing, and DallasHR raised $3,600 to support the SHRM Foundation.

To complement the DHR Executive Breakfast Series (EBS), we have created an Executive Video Series (EVS) to share with our membership and to continue to drive our vision by providing even more value to HR professionals and the community we serve.

Adrianne Court, CHRO, Transplace, joined Sandra Reid in our first video about how talent development can fuel company growth and goals.

Sloan Awards

The Sloan Award recognizes model employers of all types and sizes for their innovative and effective workplace flexibility practices. Sloan Award applications opened in January. You may access the application HERE. All applicants will receive a free personalized and confidential benchmarking report at the end of the award cycle. The benchmarking report allows you to assess how your organization’s workplace flexibility strategies compare with other organizations based on nationally representative data.
