• Conference Calls
Use conference calls as a way to meet with members of your board. Working with a well-planned agenda, you will find that it is an easy and effective way to run the business without leaving your office or home.
• Newsletters
Simple, short and sweet! Don't rush headfirst into newsletter production without deciding what you are trying to accomplish. The purpose should be discussed among the officers and written out for the chapter's permanent files. Precise, well-planned, written objectives will make the editor's job easier and help resolve the disposition of questionable content material.
Communication
52
©SHRM 2009
Communication - Cont.
The following suggestions for objectives are based on an analysis of several existing newsletters published by SHRM chapters:
• To create and maintain a favorable image of an active chapter working for the professional development of its members.
• To keep the membership informed of chapter projects, activities and upcoming meetings.
• To disseminate relevant professional information viewed as beneficial to the members.
• Keep the objectives simple, explicit and understandable. They should function as criteria by which to measure the acceptability of any material considered for publication.
• For more information: check out the volunteer resource center.
53

Communication - Cont.
• Running Effective Member Meetings and Board Meetings
We’ve provided you with a new meeting agenda and a handout that will help you run well-planned and organized meetings. Arrive on time, avoid running over, and work from your agenda.
Go to www.effectivemeetings.com for more ideas!
Use the right mix of communication channels to your members.
• Social Networking
Establishing a group or simply connecting with members in SHRM Connect is a great way to communicate with members.
54

It doesn’t take a lot of money or time to show your appreciation for a volunteer job well done. While we know that not everyone wants to be recognized or appreciated in the same exact way, there are ways you can show your appreciation that is both a reflection of you and your volunteers. Volunteer Appreciation week is April 18-24, 2010.

• Purpose
> Increase collaboration within your chapter/state council.
> Build effective professional alliances to impact your chapter/state council’s strategic goals and objectives.
> First establish the goals and objectives of the chapter/state council, and related committees you serve on.
• What does your chapter/state council want to accomplish over the next 1-3 years? If you don’t know, find out. If there isn’t a plan, there should be. Holding a planning meeting with your incoming board provides an opportunity for alignment and understanding.
Partnerships & Alliances
57

Partnerships & Alliances - Cont.
> Second, develop relationships BEFORE you need them.
> Third, just as your organization is involved in the community, so should your chapter/state council. Corporate Social Responsibility/Sustainability creates a win-win situation through the development of external partnerships or alliances that make a positive impact on the reputation of our chapter/state council, but also creates awareness of who we are and what we do.
58

Partnerships & Alliances - Cont.
• Finally, is your chapter/state council a member of the Chamber of Commerce? This is a great alliance to build and I’m sure many of you in this room could share success stories from partnerships with the Chamber as far as increasing exposure in the community as well as increasing membership. At Chamber events you have an opportunity to speak to business owners, CEO’s and people from all parts of an organization, not just HR professionals.
59

One of the biggest challenges you will face is selecting a meaningful and timely topic and finding a speaker for your program. Here are some ways chapters have located speakers:
Assign each board member responsibility for finding speakers for particular topics.
• Attorneys.• Board member contacts.• Find out who other chapters have used.• Invite SHRM staff to speak (Speaker Directory online at
http://www.shrm.org/speakers).• Local, state or national SHRM volunteer leaders.
Programming
60
©SHRM 2009
Programming - Cont.
• Network with other chapters and state councils and share successful speakers and programs.
• Network with senior chapter members.• OSHA staff.• Scan the business announcements. • Through colleges and universities.• Use speakers from state conferences.• Use the Chamber of Commerce staff or contacts.• Use the SHRM Speakers Bureau (Speaker Directory online
