How to Volunteer
If you are an HRLA member hoping to become more active within the chapter, there are many opportunities available to you. Our committees present a variety of activities in which you can become involved, and any assistance and time you can offer is appreciated!
Communications Committee
This committee, headed by Communications Vice President Penelope Fox, PMP, is responsible for compiling, editing, designing, and laying out the chapter's newsletter. Additionally, this committee works with local media sources to ensure community awareness of chapter activities. Duties include providing local papers with brief chapter-related news items, providing content to the Webmaster for online posting, and participating in the development of short-term and long-term strategic planning for the chapter.
If you are interested in serving on the Communications Committee, please contact Penny Fox at communications@hrlact.org.
Membership Committee
Vice President of Membership Janet Welch and Co-Vice President Stacey Harris run this committee, which is largely responsible for the recruitment and retention of HRLA members. Other duties include maintaining the membership database and promoting membership to the HR community at large. Membership Committee members coordinate efforts to welcome new members at each meeting, and respond to requests for information about membership through telephone calls, e-mails, and personal contact. This committee also notifies and follows up with each member for annual renewal in December.
If you are interested in serving on the Membership Committee, please email Janet Welch or Stacey Harris at membership@hrlact.org.
Programs Committee
This committee, headed by Co-Vice Presidents Sandra Spencer and Bobbie Rich, researches and selects the topics and speakers for program and satellite meetings throughout the year. This committee works to find topics of broad interest to chapter members, and provides information about each meeting to members and affiliates. Committee members work with hotels and banquet facilities in the area to set up meeting locations. Other responsibilities include submitting program content to the HRCI for certification credit approval, distributing and collecting program evaluation surveys at each meeting, and writing articles and summaries for the newsletter and website about each program.
If you are interested in serving on the Programs Committee, please email Sandra Spencer or Bobbie Rich at programs@hrlact.org.
