December 2024 Chapter President Update

12/13/2024 10:04 AM | Andrew Erkonen (Administrator)

As we wrap up another year, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to all our members, sponsors, and volunteers. Your dedication has made 2024 an incredible year for our chapter that was filled with growth, learning, and meaningful connections.

This will be my final message as your Chapter President, as I prepare to hand over the reins to Lucinda Noronha. It has been an honor to serve in this role, and I am proud of all we’ve accomplished together. I am confident that under Lucinda’s leadership, our chapter will continue to thrive and reach new heights. While we are still seeking a President-Elect to step into this important role, we are fortunate to have a strong collaborative plan in place. I will be working closely with Lucinda and the SESHRM board to ensure stability and continuity during this time of transition.

If you or someone you know is interested in shaping the future of our chapter, please reach out—we’d love to hear from you! The President-Elect position is a unique opportunity to lead, grow, and make a lasting impact on the HR community.

Come and celebrate the season with us at our Annual Social on December 17th from 3:00 pm – 5:30 pm. This fun and festive event will feature the announcement of our Community, HR Emerging Professional of the Year, and Distinguished Professional for the Year awards. This is a time to connect with fellow HR professionals, enjoy delicious food, fun games, basket raffles, and drinks. We hope to see you there!

Don’t forget to continue the success, education, networking, motivation, and fun by renewing your SESHRM membership for 2025! The deadline to renew is December 31st this year, and you have to be renewed (and paid) in order to attend the January ½ day session without charge! It’s easy to renew! Just log on to our website and follow the steps from the home page. Please reach out to a board member if you need assistance.

Make sure to join us on January 28th, 2025, for our ½ day workshop as we welcome Wendy Alexander from POET.  Wendy will be presenting a workshop on how to enhance team dynamics with disc training by providing an understating on how DISC personality assessments can improve team dynamics and communication within organizations.

To all our members, volunteers, and sponsors—thank you for your continued support and engagement. Your dedication makes our chapter a thriving and vibrant community.

Wishing you a joyful holiday season and a prosperous new year!

Thank you,

Monique Vanden Heuvel
