Farewell Message from President

Dear GVHRA Members

Thank you for your support and enthusiasm for GVHRA events again this year.  You raised $640 through the raffle, which means GVHRA is able to donate $1,000 to the SHRM Foundation (beating last year's contribution).  Our prize winners were all present at Thursday's meeting.  Congratulations to Melissa Gentner, Kari Gras, Noele Fenger, and Barb Jones.  Also on Thursday, members donated 109 lb of good to the Food Bank - another record.  GVHRA is the only Montana chapter to have been awarded Gold standard in 2013 (we'll be filing next month for 2014).  All wonderful achievements.  Thank you.

It's been a pleasure serving as president for the last two years.  Those who've contributed to the Board this year are Nancy Axtell, Kate Boie, Robyn Chupka, Melissa Gentner, Kari Gras, Candace Hassinger, Jody Hill, Jen Lane, Diane Letendre, Racheal Nellis, and Stacy Randle.  Plus I'd like to recognize Stacy Costello, Amy DiBartola, Angie Kajula, and Natalia Waldman, as well as the stellar team who helped with the State conference.  GVHRA couldn't have managed without you.

Please join me at the January 8 General Meeting to welcome Robyn Chupka and the 2015 Board to office.

Meanwhile, very best wishes for the holidays.

Sara King, PHR
GVHRA President
