Message From the President
Dear Colleagues:
It is with much pleasure and great anticipation that I assume the role of President of NCCUPA-HR. During my tenure in Human Resources, NCCUPA-HR has been an integral part in my professional growth and development. I highly regard the work, rich history and past leadership of this organization.
My desire is to move forward in a collaborative manner, working with the very talented members of the Board of Directors, as well as seeking input from our North Carolina membership. We will identify goals based on feedback you have provided and focus on implementing them to enhance the services of NCCUPA-HR.
The success of NCCUPA-HR depends upon our unified efforts to demonstrate and promote the values identified in our Bylaws: inclusive membership, integrity, excellence, partnerships, responsiveness and diverse perspectives. Continuation of our values will ensure we unite the purpose of CUPA-HR and our organization by “offering essential knowledge, resources and connections that enhance individual and institutional capacity and competitiveness.”
I look forward to working with you and welcome your thoughts, ideas and feedback.
Sincerely,
Doris A. McLaughlin

NCCUPA-HR 2010-2011
Dear NCCUPA-HR Current and Prospective Members:
First, let me express my and the NCCUPA-HR Board of Directors sincerest gratitude for your support of our state chapter during 2009-2010. We could not have a chapter, nor provide the quality programs and services that we offer——if not for your valued mem-bership. NCCUPA-HR is the premier college and university human resource outlet in North Carolina and the board continues its pledge to bring you the strongest professional de-velopment experience possible.
With that said, we are now ready to move into the 2010-2011 year. On July 1, a new membership year begins for NCCUPA-HR and fresh opportunities abound for you and the associates you work with at your respective colleges/universities.
Very soon, a member of the NCCUPA-HR Board will be calling you to solicit either your continued or new membership in the chapter. Dues will remain at $25 per individual member, which also makes your institution a member. We look forward to having you as a returning member and we extend a warm welcome to our new members!
NCCUPA-HR will also restore the Fall Conference this year, “Charting A New Course” October 27-29, 2010 at the Holiday Inn Resort in Wrightsville Beach, NC. More details (to include registration) will be available soon.
Again, we thank you for your support and commitment to the North Carolina College and University Professional Association for Human Resources and we look forward to seeing you in October.
Sincerely,
Rick Nichols
NCCUPA-HR President

Welcome to Our New Website
Dear NCCUPA-HR Member:
Today is a very exciting day in the 40-year history of this chapter. For today, we are launching a new, and vastly improved, website. As we are in a day and age where we must take advantage of the technological tools afforded us, our Board of Directors have decided that website technology is the way to strengthen our ties with current and prospective members of NCCUPA-HR.
As we launch this new site today, I want you to be aware that this is just the beginning….Phase I, if you will. We have many new facets that will be added to the site in the next few months, and the resulting increase in communication will make it much easier for you to plan your participation in the chapter. Here is the link to the new site: http://www.nccupa-hr.org .
Our chapter has always been about providing you and your colleagues with quality programs and networking opportunities. Though we have all been hit by the financial crisis, we plan to continue to offer affordable (in some cases free!) and informative conferences and workshops as we move forward. We have always enjoyed the positive results from our program evaluations.
With the launch of the new site, we are also asking that members participate in the election of the 2010 – 2012 NCCUPA-HR Board of Directors. The election ballot will be available soon. Though many of the positions will contain the name of an incumbent, we encourage you to consider “writing in” the name of someone you feel would be a strong addition to the Board. The deadline for voting is Wednesday, March 31, 2010.
As always, we thank you for your continued support of NCCUPA-HR and we look forward to offering many exciting features on the website, and continued high-quality professional development programs.
All the Best!
Rick Nichols
NCCUPA-HR President
