Volunteer Opportunities
Let’s collaborate and brainstorm innovative ways to inspire and educate our HR community. Together, we can make a positive impact. Join us in this exciting journey to make a difference in HR education in the Central Valley.
We have Board and Committee level roles, so you can assist according to your desired level of participation.
If you are SHRM Certified, you can earn PDCs towards recertification by holding a volunteer role. See page 8 of the SHRM recertification handbook.
Why join the CVHRMA Board?
Grow your professional network – Be part of an opportunity to meet influential, intelligent and well-connected people – in the local Modesto HR community.
Gain exposure and insight – Access to the inner workings of an organization, including our members, to enhance your marketability.
Strengthen your credibility – Raise your professional profile among your peers.
Increased visibility – Elevate your professional reputation amongst our members.
Open Board Positions
As the Central Valley’s SHRM chapter, it’s important we have a professional brand. This is a flexible position that would oversee outreach initiatives to ensure consistent messaging, design, and values across our communications channels. The Marketing Director would:
* Spearhead our effort to bring in Sponsors.
* Review and refine our use of social media and email.
* Collaborate with our other directors (Communication, Education, Membership) to ensure a professional and consistent brand.
Like any business, we are dependent on technology to fulfill our mission to provide HR education to the Central Valley. We’ve inherited a few systems that need upgrading to modern standards, such as:
* Re-creating our website using a user-friendly site builder
* Moving our membership site to a modern system
* Centrally storing knowledge
… and anything else you feel like recommending and playing with!
FYI – our President is technical, so you would have someone to talk tech with.
As a 501(c)6 not-for-profit, we need to say current with legal obligations and we could use the help of someone experienced with non-profits. Below are the main areas we need assistance:
* Updating our By-laws with new Board positions
* Creating a Conflict of Interest to cover issues like membership data
* Ensuring we follow “Robert’s Rules of Order”
… and anything else needed to proactively stay in good standing.
