Announcement -
Parking Permits
January 2010 |
Hello HR-PAGE
members!
In light of some
recent concern regarding the parking permits that were mailed to you for
this year, I did some checking with the ESU Conference and Scheduling office
to determine if the permits would be sufficient with only being stamped for
January and November. When the office produced these permits they forgot to
include the other months between January and November. The concern then
being that we would be ticketed for the months that had been left off.
I was assured by
Marjory at the Conference and Scheduling office that the campus police do
not look at the dates on the permits, but just check to see that you have
one for the correct lot. She advised me that we would be able to park in the
orange parking lot without a problem.
If however you are
still concerned, you may take your permit into the Conference and Scheduling
office (first office on the right as you come in the east doors) and they
will write the word "through" on your permit. You may use the circle drive
in order to avoid being ticketed.
Sorry for
any inconvenience this may have caused. If you have any questions, please
contact me at 620-342-2239.
Looking forward to
seeing you February 10th!

President's
Perspective
It’s almost time to
close our books on 2007. It has been a great year for HR-PAGE, the Emporia
Chapter of SHRM. I appreciate all the hard work that everyone has put into
keeping our chapter going for this year. It takes a lot of volunteers for a
chapter of our size to cover the many duties associated with our SHRM
affiliation, and Chapter Achievement Plan.
This year, we had
some great speakers with relevant topics. We learned about Addressing
Performance and Behavioral Concerns; Consumer-Driven Healthcare; Hiring and
Discipline; and Worker’s Compensation Laws in Kansas. We also heard about
Retention and Recruitment Issues, and had a very touching program on Why
Every Business Should be Involved in Domestic Violence Issues.
We spent a very
enjoyable evening at our Annual Social held at the Emporia Country Club. If
you were not able to make it this year, you should watch for the date next
year. The speakers are great at our monthly meetings, but there never seems
to be enough time to just visit with the other members. That’s what the
Annual Social is all about. We also collected toys and clothing for our
chosen community service project, the Emporia Social Service Club.
Many thanks to
Hopkins Manufacturing for their donation of a door prize and table
centerpiece for the KS State SHRM Conference. The state conference will be
held in Wichita in September 2008. There are a lot of opportunities to get
involved with SHRM on the state council, in addition to serving on a
committee at the local level. Getting involved can be as simple as serving
as a Core Leadership Advocate. This truly involves only a few hours of work,
but each one is important to keep our membership informed on important and
timely topics. Volunteering is really the best way to get to know others in
the group. Just let June Coleman-Hull know you are willing to help,
jcoleman@emporia.edu.
Have a wonderful and
safe holiday season!
