A demand for Back to Basics
Education from NNEAPS members brought Jeff Skrentny to New Hampshire last
week.
After a 2 year break from
training due to illness Jeff is back with a vengence. His multi session
presentation was packed with "Ah Hah"'s and a review of all the processes
necessary in a strong labor economy.
Attended by over 40
members, all interacted and shared ideas that will help each other to spring
into action in this new swing of the pendulum.
The board of Directors is
making plans now for another major speaker in the Fall. Ideas, suggestions and
topics of interest are encouraged. send emails to deb@cnhesinc.com

NNEAPS Board News
Thank You Kim Scoggins and Ed McKersie
Welcome Don Richard and Nicole
Horan
Kim Scoggins of ARC Associates
regretfully resigned from his long standing position as a NNEAPS Board Member
recently due to his relocation to the sunny coast of South Carolina. Kim put
in many years of service to the association holding various officer positions
including President and most recently Membership Chair. We will miss all his
contributions but look forward to his continued friendship.
Ed McKersie of ProSearch also resigned
from the NNEAPS Board as a member who made many contributions as well. Ed was
instrumental in establishing a new website and coordinating the updates to it as
well as offering his wisdom and business accumen.
Don Richard of Mountain Ltd has
accepted his nomination to the Board at our Annual Dinner in November. Don will
bring years of experience in management in the industry as well as a great sense
of humor and his committment to ethics and education. Don will coordinate our
Association Website.
Nicole Horan of Squires Staffing has
accepted her nomination to the Board as well in November. Nicole has previously
been involved as a volunteer to our Legislative Watch and has spent endless
hours following pending legal state and government matters, attending
oppositional and supportive meetings representing NNEAPS with Employment
Security and the NH Statehouse. Nicole will lead our Legislative Watch and we
are happy to have her.
Letter
from the President
Dear
Members:
In early December
the NNEAPS Board of Directors conducted our Annual Planning meeting. Though we
discussed many topics, we focused on ensuring that we, as a board, are
fulfilling the mission and purpose of our association. To paraphrase from our
by-laws, the mission of our association is to:
- Offer a
programs of constructive workshops
- Protect our
members against adverse practices/acts
- Promote an
atmosphere of camaraderie within the association
- Provide a code
of ethics which will insure the finest possible service to the public
Our Board of
Directors is dedicated to fulfilling these commitments to our members and, as we
embark on 2012, to fulfilling the purpose of the association by offering the
best possible legal updates for our region and hosting events that promote
the collaboration between our firms to foster enhanced communications. We are
also pleased to offer several training opportunities throughout 2012.
As always, we try
to facilitate our training events so that all members feel a sense of
camaraderie with others in the industry. We are hopeful that these highlighted
training events (plus others planned for 2012) will help you and your company
feel more engaged, empowered and energized to successfully take on
2012.
Best Regards,
April Metivier

Owners
Meeting - October 2011
Annual
Meeting - November 2011
The fall months were alive with
two events that were invaluable in helping all that attended move ahead to
embrace the new economy and the new year with new ideas.
At the beautiful property of the
Stage Neck Inn, Owners and Managers gathered for an overnight of friendship, a
delicious dinner, fireside cammraderie and a national known speaker.
The Owners Meeting brought Rob
Mosley north to the coast of Maine for a very enlightening session on Friday
morning of the meeting. An interactive role playing session with peers peaked
everyone's awareness of others techniques, their own ability and the critique by
Rob in making us all better sales people.
At Chez Boucher our Annual
Meeting was well attended as with members from a wide variety of companies in
NH, VT and ME. As an election year, board Members were thanked and
welcomed. Officers exchanged positons and Tracey Madden outgoing President
personally thanked each current Board Member with a fleece blanket with the
association logo for their efforts over the last two years.
All attendees enjoyed learning
cooking techniques, sampling a flight of wines pared with the dinner
courses. Personally it was one of the best meals I've had in years.
Thank you to Deb Kennedy
of Central NH Empl Svcs for selecting and planning these wonderful events.
