May DallasHR Volunteer of the Month

Brian Yanus

“Brian has gone above and beyond to help with Member Engagement Committee.  He provides invaluable feedback and resources to our member experience.  He oversees the non-member calls which provides a huge impact to our chapter.  He also put together our mentor/mentee guides for our mentorship program to maximize the experience for our mentors and mentees.  He is continually looking for ways and offering ideas to increase our membership and maximizing member benefits.  I am honored to recognize Brian for this well-deserved recognition as he continues to share his time and passion.” - Courtney DeWitt, Member Engagement Director


May HRSWC Volunteer of the Month

Daniel Gonzalez
Human Resources Analyst
AMN Healthcare

“Daniel Gonzalez is a first-year volunteer for the HRSouthwest Conference and for Ed Sessions.  When we had our first big task of reviewing speaker proposals, he took it very seriously and provided a lot of detail on his thoughts regarding the quality of the topics as well as the speakers’ presentation styles, making the selection process easy for the team.  He also brings a great energy, wit and charm to the group that will make this another excellent Conference experience not only for the committee, but for anyone who meets him there.  It is such a privilege to have him serving on Ed Sessions 2023!” Kim Piscotta, Ed Sessions Director

April HRSWC Volunteer of the Month

Beth Grover
Cousin James Management LLC

“Beth has been a committed member and a pioneer for the HRSouthwest Conference. She generously volunteers and is always willing to do the work that can get overlooked by others. Beth has a wealth of knowledge from her many years of serving and shares that knowledge selflessly.  Last month she dedicated several hours going though the tots of past conference decorations that remain at the DallasHR office.  Her insight and past knowledge was critical as we look for ways to optimize costs for this years event planning. Beth also demonstrates an openness and commitment to embrace new ideas that continue to enhance the experience of our attendees. Please join me in recognizing Beth Grover for her commitment, selflessness, and teamwork. “ - Rhonda Clemente, Attendee Experience Director

Beverly went above and beyond as an Ambassador last month when we greeted 160 people at the 2023 Diversity Conference then helped welcome another 100 people at our Networking Event later that day.  She smiled from 8 AM to 7 PM!  I can’t thank her enough for pitching in to support a very busy day at our Chapter”  -Courtney DeWitt, Member Engagement Committee Director
 


February DallasHR Volunteer of the Month

As an HR professional herself, she is aware of the issues that affect the industry and is always on the lookout for speakers to discuss these topics.  She is also active in networking and attending events professionally and personally, which exposes her to possible presenter that might interest DallasHR members.  Many of the best received speakers that have presented at DallasHR education events have been professionals that Joann has suggested and connected us to.

Allison Flannery
Regional HR Business Partner, Trane Technologies  

"Allison, also known as Flan,  is a take-charge kind of volunteer. She always has a fresh idea or suggestion of what to do or how to make things better. During the holidays, she took it upon herself to provide our Job Link community daily tips called "12ish Workdays Til Winter Break," playing off the holiday song. Allison creatively shared great tips for in-transition members for 12 days. Her efforts are enriching not only to our committee but to our DallasHR members in-transition."- Tomi Morriss, Career Support Director
