President's Letter

June 2005

I hope you enjoyed reading the April 2005 Horizon, our first printed newsletter since 2001! You will continue to receive Horizon each month by email; however, we received numerous positive comments on the printed version, so we will continue with our plans to produce a printed newsletter quarterly in 2005.

May Meeting! We had an incredibly successful May meeting and Bosses Day, with over $8,000 raised in our Silent Auction for the SHRM Foundation. Kudos to Carol Hollen, Chris Luttrell and the entire Silent Auction team for their hard work on this fantastic event!

Chuck Ward, Ph.D., our May speaker, brought us a great message on “Leadership That Works”, sprinkled with just the right amount of humor and entertainment.

June Meeting! “Trends in Compensation” is the topic for June 14th, with Cynde Coulson, CCP, as our luncheon speaker.

We will also have a pre-meeting session and a “Community Relations Fair” that day, with representatives from each charitable organization available to provide information regarding their group. A Community Relations Committee member will be at each “booth” to help answer questions. And, we will provide the opportunity for DHR members and guests to offer individual contributions to the various charities if you choose to do so. Contributors will be eligible for a prize drawing.

Be sure to check the location, as we will be at a different meeting site in June.

HR Southwest Conference and Exposition! Remember to register for the October 25th – 28th conference before June 15th, to get the best registration rates. Check out the website at www.hrsouthwest.com.
