Did you know? Baylor University has a live bear on campus.


Bruce Waller (DallasHR President) and Jackie Eason (Director of College Relations) recently traveled to Waco, Texas to speak to about 50 College of Business students at Baylor University about HR careers and how a local SHRM organization can add value to a professional career. They were humbled by the opportunity to share their work and volunteer experiences, as well as the amazing benefits a local SHRM chapter has to offer an HR professional. Their message was focused on the benefits of local membership. Information on scholarships, student SHRM organization opportunities, and student sponsorships for events were provided. Bruce and Jackie were highly impressed with the group in attendance and say they are now fans of the Baylor Bears...They extend their thanks to Dr. Joe Cox (Chapter Sponsor), and the Baylor Association of Human Resources – BHAR for hosting them. These new fans look forward to seeing some of the BU students at the upcoming The HRSouthwest Conference this fall...

On Thursday,April 5th, our Community Relations Committee hosted a Spring event with Launch Ability at the Spring Valley United Methodist Church from 6:30pm-8:00p . This fun filled event benefitted children with disabilities and their families who depend on the education and services provided by Launch Ability. Some of our Dallas HR Volunteers got to entertain the children and their families while hosting game stations like duck toss and bowling,while others assisted with face painting and crafts There were additional helpers from UNT who helped serve popcorn and pizza to the 200 guests. The event came to a close with an outdoor easter egg hunt where the kids carried colorful bags and searched for eggs filled with candy and treats.  This event brought many smiles to families that night, and we can't wait to partner with them again in the fall.  Thanks to all who volunteered for this event.
