 President's Message
Hello HRMA members,
I hope everyone had fun at our Summer Picnic event last month. We played some fun games and gave out some amazing prices as well as scholarships for our student chapter.
As summer comes to a close and we anticipate the upcoming NM State Fair, The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, as well as some other exciting events around town, we hope you will continue to join us here at HRMA and stay tuned to see the other exciting events we have in store of the remainder of 2015.
Your window is closing: If you're not SHRM-certified, but have a valid HR generalist certification (including: PHR, SPHR, GPHR, HRBP, HRMP, IPMA-CP) which you obtained by January 31, 2015, you are eligible for SHRM's new certification-at no cost-by completing the Online Tutorial Pathway before December 31, 2015. Visit www.shrmcertification.org/pathway to start this process, or e-mail shrmcertification@shrm.org for more information.
I am pleased to announce that our HRMA President for 2016 will be Rose Velasquez. Many of you know Rose, as she's been an HRMA member for a number of years and has held various positions on the HRMA board. I look forward to passing the torch on to Rose and I'm excited to see what she has planned for us in 2016.
Blair Boyer will be our President Elect for the 2016 year and then President in 2017. A great number of our board members are slated to transition from elect positions this year into their specific VP positions next year.
This means we will have various elect positions open. If you're interested in filling one of these positions, please contact me directly at president@hrmanm.org and I will forward you the nomination details.
As always I want to remind you if you have any suggestions about events or things you'd like to see the organization do, please reach out to me at president@hrmanm.org
Sincerely, Brian Stone, PHR, SHRM-CP

Diversity Corner
The low percentages of women and minorities at tech companies illustrate what experts say is an inherent problem in the industry: a culture that values a certain lifestyle and office approach-including a willingness to work late and unusual hours-that can discourage women in particular from pursuing careers in IT.

Obama Orders Federal Contractors To Provide Paid Sick Leave
Employees of federal contractors must be allowed to earn up to seven days of paid sick leave each year, under a new executive order that President Obama signed on Labor Day. The leave includes paid time off for family care.
"This will give about 300,000 working Americans access to paid sick leave for the first time," Obama said after signing the order. The White House says the new policy will allow federal contractors to compete with "model employers" and also bring a boost in efficiency and cost savings. The policy calls for employees to earn one hour of paid sick time for every 30 hours they work.

HRMA Member Luncheon is September 15, 2015
Topic: Exploring the Anatomy of Conflict
Speaker:
Chris Moya, Director of Training, Development and Operations,
The intention of this presentation is to shift your perspective of how we relate to conflict. It is an invitation to understand the structure of conflict which may drive a different result and outcome in the way we resolve conflict in our lives. It is an exploration of how conflict is seen through the eyes of integral coaching, psychology and philosophy. Shift your language and understanding of conflict and start to invite new ways of being.
About Chris: When the weather is nice, you won't find Chris driving a car; rather, he'll be on his Harley roaring around town. Since starting with Dion's in 1992, Chris has been integral in shaping both Operations and Training. As Vice President of Operations, he opened seven stores and developed crucial processes, which are still used today. In his role as Director of Operations, Training & Development, he oversees all aspects of operations and training, from new employee orientation to teaching General Managers.
Chris is driven by development work and has been involved with Newton Industries, Insight Leadership, and Wings. Most notable was his work with New Ventures West where he received his Integral Coaching license, which allows him to serve as a Life Coach for many of Dion's employees. His goal is to allow humanity to drive a corporate workplace. Chris and his wife, Amy, have two daughters.
What's Your Slice? Riding on my Harley in a world of possibilities.
