    Chair Reports:

    President –

    • Yay!! We won the top award for SHRM Chapters—the Platinum Award!! I’m so proud of all of the work this team has done to make that possible. Thank you, so much.
    • Our most recent eBlast went out on Monday, May 2. See the attached email report from SHRM about its performance—ours continue to perform better than most according to their benchmarks. Our engagement wasn’t quite as high on this one though.
    • I put together a draft of a certification reimbursement program for us based on some others that I found. It is attached.
    • Our tax-exempt status is a little wonky—they appear to have misclassified our tax-exempt status so I am working to get that corrected.
