President’s Corner September 2012
As we have all noticed the students are back in town, which means
it is time for SHRMTC to start the fall programming. The Board has been
busy over the summer working on fine tuning the fall programming and creating
the 2013 program calendar. The Board will also be starting to consider
nominations for board positions as the annual meeting will be held in
November. If you are interested in learning more about serving on the
board or on a committee, please contact me at President@SHRMTC.org.

Certification Corner
It is not too late to join the Certification Review Team. The
PHR/SPHR study group met on August 29th to discuss certification, study
materials, testing fees and time frames. So far, four individuals have fully
committed to obtaining or upgrading their professional certification during the
Winter testing window (December 1, 2012 through January 30, 2013). Our first
review session will be "Business Management and Strategy" on Monday,
September 17, 2012, at 5:30 PM. The location is the Cornell Office of Human
Resources located in the East Hill Office Plaza.
We will meet weekly thereafter, on Monday evenings at a location
yet to be firmly determined from 5:30 PM until finished (typically 1.5 to 2
hours), for a total of ten weeks. If you just want to see what these review
sessions are like, please join us Monday the 17th at East Hill Plaza. There is
no cost and it may motivate you to move forward in the profession.
I (Steve Estes, Certification Chair) would like to thank everyone
on the Review Team for their optimism and enthusiasm. With the energy I saw in
the room during the information session, I am confident that we will soon have
more certification success stories to share. On behalf of the study group, we
hope to see you there.
