The Society for Human Resource Management NMI Chapter inducted its new set of officers following a membership meeting last Friday at the Pacific Islands Club\u2019s Charley\u2019s Cabaret.<\/p>\n
DFS Saipan\u2019s Esther Ada took her oath as president for calendar year 2017. Also sworn in were vice president Frank Ada of Triple J, treasurer Denise Montenegro of Hyatt Regency Saipan, secretary Catherine Cachero of Marianas Legal Strategy Group, LLC, director\/membership chair Penny Jones of Hyatt, director\/program chair Vanessa Deleon Guerrero of Pacific Island Cub, and immediate past-president Josephine Mesta, Hyatt.<\/p>\n
Speaking after being sworn in, Ada said she wants to boost the membership of SHRM during her time in office.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to bring it up to 120 members from the current 80. We will have a membership drive. We encourage you to encourage other HR professionals to join us and we have great incentives for that referral. One of the incentives we\u2019re thinking about is the upcoming SHRM national conference in New Orleans. The person with the most referrals, the person with the most signs up, we\u2019ll pay [for his or her] the registration fee for the national conference,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Ada is also keen to organize a study group for SHRM members who want to take the organization\u2019s certification exam.<\/p>\n
