2011 NOARK Awards
December 12, 2011
A message from Darrin Coon, Immediate Past President.
We know how important it is to stay on top of all the latest happenings in the HR profession. That's why NOARK News is dedicated to keeping you up to date and informed on all local HR and association news, as well as highlighting member accomplishments and general announcements.
Thanks to our generous sponsors and vendor directory advertisers, NOARK will be able to continue to keep the cost of the lunch meetings the same for 2013.
Just a quick and urgent reminder: if you haven't already renewed your NOARK membership, it will automatically expire at the end of the year. Take the time to renew your NOARK membership today!
Thanks to your generosity, we have exceeded our goal of $1000 in donations for the SHRM Foundation for 2011. We would like to express our thanks to members and businesses who have donated items throughout the year to benefit the fundraising activities. We look forward to another great fundraising year in 2012.
Thanks to the generous support of our NOARK membership we collected $285 in monetary donations in addition to many of the needed items for the Single Parent Scholarship Fund pantry. These donations will be shared by the Washington County and Benton County programs. Your generosity is much appreciated!!!
