Dallas HR

DallasHR’s Workforce Readiness Committee has just teamed up with "Allies in Service" (www.alliesinservice.org) to help veterans find civilian jobs as they transition out of the military. Each DallasHR volunteer reviews and revises five resumes, then returns them to the veterans. About 70 resumes have been revised and returned, and so far, two veterans have been hired into civilian positions. Many more veterans will find employment under this collaboration. For more information, contact Neal England at nengland@proalt.com.

Next, DallasHR was mentioned in the Wall Street Journal after its volunteers assisted with the New Friends New Life luncheon, which netted $450,000 for this organization that rescues women from slavery, human trafficking and prostitution. DallasHR members continue to volunteer at NFNL (www.newfriendsnewlife.org) on weekday nights, and DallasHR’s immediate past president Bruce Waller is coordinating a September 23rd Golf Tournament to benefit the organization. For more information, contact Lynne Stewart at Lynne@SUPERIORHIRE.COM or Nancy Drucker at nancy.drucker@airliquide.com.

Finally, DallasHR is now accepting nominations for HR Executive of the Year award. This honor is bestowed to a VP of HR or higher for his/her impactful contribution to HR and the community. The winner will be recognized at a luncheon on December 10th. If you would like to nominate a deserving HR professional, go to www.dallashr.org/DallasHR/About_Us/HR_Exec_Award.aspx. Nominations can be emailed to info@dallashr.org or faxed to 214-631-8775. For more information, contact John Hagan at john@hr-lawgroup.com.
