Discussion Item

Main Decision(s) Made

1.

 President -  Mary White

• Shared information on Linda Ramsey’s family and her loss during the recent storms.
• Discussed request from Elizabeth Ripp regarding her request to accept storm donations during the MSHRM Cinco de Mayo celebration.  Elizabeth is working with the University of Alabama athletic department.  Many board members are working with organizations to provide support for the storm damaged areas.  It was decided that Brandon Barnhill would call his contract with Tuscaloosa SHRM to determine if there is a SHRM member to whom our chapter could direct funding.  Mary will contact Elizabeth to let her know that Candice will be taking a truck to Tuscaloosa each week as long as donations are available.  Mary will add information to the newsletter regarding donation options.

2.

President Elect – Tom Woodford

• Announced more luncheon sponsorships.  Patty Hutchinson with Volunteers will be sponsoring the July meeting.

3.

VP Membership –Kay Watson

• Requested the discounted membership price be amended on the website and newsletter to indicate the correct amount of $165.  Kay has the cards for individuals to submit with application to obtain the discount.
• Asked to consider not introducing new members voted on at the board meeting until the following month.  This would allow new members to make arrangements to attend the meeting and provide time to submit payment.
• Candace Swiger made a motion that dues payment be included with the membership application to become effective immediately upon being voted on by board.  Carol Statter seconded the motion.  The motion carried.  Mary and Kay will discuss the process and update the website accordingly. 
• Kay stated she had many calls from members who had received cancellation notices.  Kay stated that many of these members may believe that their employers are submitting payments.  Carol will follow up with these members to clarify their membership.
• New member applications were presented and approved for Diana Canady, associate membership and, Tim Dorriety, professional member.  Tim is also a national SHRM member.

Treasurer –

Carol Statter

• April financials were emailed to board members on Monday.

Conference Chair-

  Candace Swiger

• Plans to begin scheduling conference committee meetings in about three weeks.  The first meeting is tentatively scheduled for May 26^th at 3:30 pm.  Candace will email notices to attendees.  She asked that committee members be prepared to brainstorm theme ideas – perhaps a football theme – for this year’s conference. 
• Conference sponsors are still needed for speakers, breakfast and lunch.  All tangibles have committed sponsors.  Candace will be reaching out to last year’s sponsors to determine interest in sponsoring again this year.  As commitments are received, invoices are being sent to the sponsors.  Sponsors will be allowed to provide flyers/brochures or novelty items to be included in attendee bags.
• Vendors will receive discounts for early payment.
• Judy suggested we check with Mitchell Center for pricing.  Candace will follow up.

10.

Door Prizes – Becky Lovgren

• Discussed after hours function.  RSVPs have not come in as we had hoped.  At this point, there are 45 who have responded either maybe or yes.  Becky has changed reservation to 50.  Becky did send Evite invitation to Mobile SHRM members but was not given the email addressed for Baldwin County SHRM members.   

11.

SHRM Foundation – Judi Meadow

• Judy has collected $50 so far for the summer beach basket raffle.  Chances will still be available at the next meeting.  The drawing will take place after the door prizes are awarded during that meeting.
