Collaboration: Progress Check - July 2010

The Collaboration Implementation Team and the Staff at HRIA are working to make implementation a reality. What does that mean to you, the members? Here's a glimpse at just a few of the many tasks currently underway:

☑	Re-design HRIA website to accommodate the transfer of regional content
☑	Create a web presence for CAHRMA
☑	Combine member rosters in to one database managed centrally by HRIA
☑	Contact new members to assist in creating online profiles and orient them to services available
☑	Review respective association by-laws and address any need for changes
□	Develop a regional service agreement
□	Create a cooperative plan to jointly deliver professional development and networking events

Integration of member records into the central database has been completed for all participating regions.

Having a member profile in the central database will allow those who are new to the HRIA to access new services:
              1. Member discount for the Alberta HR Conference and other association member events
              2. Monthly online newsletter related to human resources - E-Source
              3. Quarterly HR magazine - Network
              4. HR Job Source
              5. Online Member Directory

Discussions continue between HRIA and HRAC.  Watch for updates later in the Fall.
