Over the last few months we had several HIRE members and supporters of HIRE who reached their next career goal. We also had several members and supporters who retired including Ted Varno, past Georgia HIRE Chapter President, and also one of our very own HIRE founding fathers, Paul Cordova. We wish all of them the best in the next phase of their lives.
All of our HIRE chapters, continue to do an amazing job to continue to help us meet our national goals and objectives. The HIRE National website phase III login phase has been completed and will soon deploy. Committee members will soon review documents (i.e. chapter newsletters, training conference workshop presentations, lunch-n-learn workshop presentations) which will be loaded to our website to ensure all the information is professional and meets our communication standards.
I am amazed how many of our members volunteered for one of the three national HIRE goals (i.e. National Website, Career Development and Succession Planning). We had a kick off call with each of the committes in early April. Each of the committees are currently working on creating a charter to keep them focused on their initiative, creating additional sub-objectives, and finally creating an action plan to keep them on track through this entire process. We plan to keep our membership updated on the progress of each team.
The new IRS bilingual assessment has played a critical role for many of our members. Doug Shulman, IRS Commissioner asked Debra Chew, Executive Director of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion to work with HIRE on this initiative. We also reached out to Maria Cheeks, Section Chief Virtual Translation Office of Tax Forms and Publications. Maria has graciously agreed to help the HIRE organization with this initiative as well. Our national goal is to develop some kind of training plan our chapters can use to help prepare those members who will take the bilingual assessment. A special thank you goes out to Doug Shulman, Debra Chew, and Maria Cheeks for agreeing to help our organization.
One of my personal goals as your National President is to visit with chapter members across the country when ever possible. Since July, I have had the opportunity to visit with members from the Utah Chapter, Fresno Chapter, Southern California Chapter, and the Los Angeles Chapter. Thank You all for your hospitality and generosity. I look forward to meeting with many more chapters this year.
We are still in the process of planning the 2010 Annual Business Meeting in Reno, Nevada on May 15, 2010. We are also in the early stages of planning our 2011 HIRE National Training Conference in San Antonio, Texas. A hotel contract has already been signed and the informaiton will be coming out soon to everyone, also visit our website from time to time for an update.
In closing, I and the rest of the National Board thank you for all of the work you continue to do on behalf of HIRE. Thank you for your continued support.
Rose M. Pruneda
HIRE National President
