The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) of New Mexico is proud to sponsor the 2008 SHRM of New Mexico HR Excellence Awards. These awards are designed to honor and recognize the best in the HR profession and those organizations which support their efforts.

Presidents Message
     by Beth James, SPHR

 

What a journey it’s been!

 

As I reflect back over the last two years, I find myself feeling a mixture of emotions, mostly positive, and a little sad that my term as Director is coming to an end.  I am so proud of the work of our state council board members and of the achievements of our New Mexico chapters.  I am grateful for the opportunity to have served in this capacity and honored to work with such a fine group of people.  You each have made an impact in my life and I hope to have made at least a small difference in yours.

 

To the SHRM of NM board members and our SHRM Regional leaders, I thank you for your passion, your vision, and your leadership as HR Professionals.  I thank you for your friendship!

 

I am on a continuous leadership journey and realize this to be a life-long endeavor.  I would like to share some of what I have learned and do my best to practice and remember every day:

 

1.       Listen well.

2.       Remain open-minded and flexible, and try not to make assumptions.

3.       Be confident and resilient.

4.       Show compassion.

5.       Learn from others.

6.       Give to others through guidance, encouragement, and praise.

7.       Make thoughtful decisions.

8.       Mistakes are inevitable.  Accept this and learn from them.

9.       Laugh often.

10.   At the end of the day, go home and take care of yourself and your family.

 

As Nancy Newell, Director Elect, has begun planning and organizing for 2008, you have already had a glimpse into her ability to lead.  As she steps into these shoes I know she will stretch them into the next size up!  I was fortunate to have worked for Nancy a couple of years ago and can attest to her capacity to lead others – she is energizing, engaging, motivating, and most of all she is passionate for HR.  She is extremely intelligent and she loves to teach, coach and lead others.  Put all this together and you have the recipe for a superb State Council Director!  Nancy, I wish you all the best and am right here to support you in 2008.

 

To everyone, I wish you and your families a wonderful Christmas and a very blessed new year!

 

Beth James, SPHR
