New Members and Appointments 

Extra Time to Share Your Opinions

The feedback of members is crucial to the development and maintenance of membership programs as well as ensuring that we are covering the topics that most effect your HR career. To ensure that we are receiving as many responses as possible, the Association has extended the final deadline to complete the 2024 Member Survey to Tuesday, February 20th.

Please complete our annual survey so we can continue to improve our member services, events and engagement. The survey takes only 3 minutes and members who complete it will be entered into a drawing to win a $50 Amazon Gift Card.

Need the survey link, simply check for the link in the Newsletter announcement email sent February 16th by Steve Farace or request the link via email to Steve.Farace@SharedXpertise.com.

Be Active in the Association Community – Become a Knowledge Center Member

After successfully launching last year, the Association’s newest member program is gearing up for an impactful 2024. Knowledge Centers are special interest groups built on data, knowledge-sharing and collaboration and there are two that are active: Talent Acquisition/Talent Management and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.

Knowledge Centers meet quarterly with informative Roundtable, featuring a combination of mini topical presentations and thoughtful discussion. While any Association member can attend a Roundtable, you gain even more value by joining one or both Knowledge Centers as a Member. There is no fee to join and as a member you:

  • can “deep-dive” into topics with like-minded peers;
  • are recognized on the Knowledge Center webpage and marketing materials;
  • receive priority access to Knowledge Center Roundtables;
  • contribute your ideas for discussion topics; and
  • are considered for speaking at Knowledge Center Roundtables.

To join as a Knowledge Center Member, contact Steve Farace at Steve.Farace@SharedXpertise.com and indicate which Knowledge Center you would like join (or both).

And special thanks to our 2024 Co-chairs: TA/TM – Cristine Kane (Hudson RPO), Cherice Schmidt (Cielo), Scott Sell (Mercy); DEI – Steve Amsden (Orion Talent), Jo Anne Hill (Piedmont Healthcare), Mary Steudle (Cielo).
