President’s Message

I am thrilled to continue serving you as your NMHHRA president for 2009.  One of the planning tools we used last year and this is ASHHRA’s Chapter Management Recognition Program.  It’s a wonderful tool that helps us identify all the things we should do to effectively manage our chapter’s activities and bring value to your NMHHRA membership.  The reward for accomplishing the various Chapter Management objectives is $200 to $1,000 for the chapter and between one and four free annual ASHHRA memberships. The Executive Committee has worked hard in 2008 to achieve the goal we set for our chapter.  Those goals and how we met them are:

1.  Achieve a One Star Chapter Management Award for 2007.

• We were awarded the One Star Award for 2007 at ASHHRA in October, 2008.

• We held four chapter meetings with presentation programs that achieved our goal.

• Our meeting attendance increased by more than 22%, up overall from 86 in 2007 to 105 total attendees in 2008. We exceeded our goal by 12%.

4.  Increase visibility and involvement of NMHHRA Committees in chapter activities.

• Our chapters were listed in every newsletter and posted on our web site. An invitation to help with our Community Service project was emailed to all members, lapsed members, and prospective members. We met our goal.

5.  Complete requirements for Four Star Chapter Management Award for 2008.

•  I believe we will achieve this Four Star Award as we have completed all the requirements.

I extend an invitation to each of you to call on me if you would like to share with me what you would like NMHHRA to do for you and anything you feel would increase the ROI on your membership.  I ask all of you to carve a few minutes out of your very busy work lives to read or scan the emails and newsletters from NMHHRA as they come to you throughout the year.  I especially thank you for your continued support, participation and membership in this NMHHRA that is here to serve you.  Thank you,

Cindy Paulsen, MBA, SPHR, NMHHRA President 2009
