Happy New Year to all of our members! All the best in 2014! I m honored to serve as your President this year. When I entered the human resources profession several years ago, I had no idea how rewarding my career would be. A new highlight is the opportunity to oversee one of the finest SHRM chapters in Ohio. I want to thank Karen Sating for her commitment to our Chapter as the 2013 President. Her leadership exemplifies the dedication and devotion necessary to promote the success of our Chapter. She has paved the way for me to efficiently transition our leadership so that I can continue to grow and enhance our organization in the coming year. As we begin the New Year, I can assure you that our Board is focused on making sure your membership is rewarding and fulfilling. We have an outstanding group of presenters scheduled, and we look forward to seeing you at our monthly luncheon meetings. One of our strategic goals this year is to heighten the awareness of local companies that are dedicated to the human resources profession, so you will be able to interact with our luncheon sponsors. We are also working to develop a college outreach program to attract college students, who are seeking careers in human resources, and introduce them to the benefits of SHRM membership. Guests are welcome to attend our monthly luncheon meetings so please invite business associates who you feel would value our organization. Thank you for supporting the human resources profession, and I look forward to seeing you at future Chapter events.

7 Page 7 Changes to HRCI Recertification Credits As you know, in order to maintain your certified status, you must recertify every three years. The most common way that individuals do this is to participate in at least 60 hours of continuing professional development activities during this three-year period. For certain credentials, you must spend a certain amount of time in specified credit areas. As part of our new recertification program, we have simplified the terminology we use to describe credit requirements as follows: All credit requirements are unchanged. Please note that the exam functional areas in relation to the bodies of knowledge remain the same. For example, when referencing the SPHR Body of Knowledge, the exam functional area will still be identified as Business Management and Strategy, but the credit will be known as Business. Learn more about this topic by reading this short article. We hope that the new credit terms will be clearer and easier to understand. Additionally, our new recertification sys-tem will make it easier for you to identify specific programs and activities that can be used to meet your credit requirements. You may be surprised to find that there are on-the job activities, programs and conferences that you regularly participate in that can also help you to recertify. We are excited to introduce our new and improved system in the first quarter of 2014! HR Certification Institute Our Client Relations Team is standing by to help. Contact us at or (US Toll Free).
