New Business:

• Arrowhead Career Fair (Terri) - A career fair is being held at the DECC on 11/13 and it was requested that NHRA attend to represent us as a profession. They also need volunteers for mock interviews. The board felt the career fair wasn.t the right fit for us to have a booth. Information will be coming regarding what's needed for volunteers for the mock interviews.
• Newspaper Articles (Jen) - The first article will be in the Monday newspaper regarding Organizational Culture & Performance.
• Student Member Consortium (Jen) - The idea is to have only one SHRM group for the area, rather than each school and organization having their own HR group. Jen is planning to discuss this with college relations chairs to find out about interest.
• HRCI Credit for Last week's meeting - The October membership meeting was approved for credits. Kim will get a list of attendees and send the certificates in a .pdf file.
• Holiday Inn Contract (Jen) - Jen received an updated contract from the Holiday Inn for 2009 to continue with the monthly meetings at the Holiday Inn. Kim will be reviewing it and signing.
• Sheraton (Kathy) - Kathy was contacted by the Sheraton. They have 3 meeting rooms that seat up to 60 people and 2 smaller rooms. Kathy will look into having the November board meeting there so that we can see the facility and will send out an email to the board prior to the meeting to confirm.
• Bank Location (Pam) - Pam Grover works at Members Cooperative Credit Union and asked if we could move our accounts to her bank when she is treasurer. This would make it a lot easier for her while she is treasurer. Pam will do further checking as to requirements of switching accounts or switching only the checking account and what that would affect. We will discuss at the November meeting.
• 2009 Fall Conference (Laurie) - Laurie was not at the meeting but it's still up for discussion what should be done regarding a fall conference in 2009 or in spring 2010. It was suggested that the topic be tabled until next year.
• Succession Planning (Kathy) - Sandy Shea is coming back to the NHRA board as an .at large. member and will help with whatever is needed. Kathy is also still talking with other people regarding other open board positions.

Meeting adjourned.
