  • Certificate of Deposit: Interest on PayPal is .74; put $15000 back into certificate and remaining into savings.

  • HR Games Donation: In the past, NHRA has given a $200 donation to students to participate in HR Games. Wayne will check with Jennifer Mencl and get back to the board.
  • Budget: The 2009 budget looks good, with a few notes:
    • Pam will check with Laurie regarding the fall conference and what should be added to the budget.
    • The $500 scholarship and $200 donation for HR Games should be in the budget.
    • Add $300 to the budget to purchase an NHRA display for recruiting opportunities (see .Membership. below).

Community Involvement (Steve Korby and Tracy Larsen):

Steve and Tracy were absent.

Diversity (Linda Olcott):

Linda listened in to a webcast on 1/27/09 but wasn't able to pull a lot of helpful information from it. She suggested that our May meeting (speaker Inez Wildwood on Diversity) be regarding diversity of the workplace, accommodating people with disabilities, and the aging workforce. Wendy will follow up with Inez.
