Diversity Chair

Karen L. Williams

Please list your 4 current/most recent involvement(s) with A/SHRM, NHRMA, and/or HRCI:
Year - New / Organization / Position
ASHRM is a good and positive organization that I’ve been a member of for a few years. After attending some of the lunches and events over the years I’ve decided I really should be more involved. This chapter has a strong board of directors and I would appreciate the opportunity to learn more about ASHRM from them. Additionally, I have a strong background and commitment to diversity.

Governmental Affairs

K Michael Ward Joined ASHRM in 2007

Please list your 4 current/most recent involvement(s) with A/SHRM, NHRMA, and/or HRCI:
Year(s) / Organization / Position
1. 2011 / Anchorage SHRM / Co-Chair Membership
2. 2010 / Anchorage SHRM / Chair, Membership
3. 2009 / Anchorage SHRM / Chair, Workforce Readiness
4. 2008 / Anchorage SHRM / Co-Chair Governmental Affairs
5. 2008-2011 / Anchorage SHRM / Certification Instructor – Labor Relations
I feel I could best serve the ASHRM Membership in this position for several reasons: Prior to my HR career I worked for the legislature for 3 years and understand how it works. Currently I’m the Chair of Governmental Affairs with AAHU (Alaska Association of Health Underwriters) which has consistent goals as SHRM. In that position I already have paid trips to Washington DC and Juneau to lobby, combining forces would be both powerful and cost effective.

Hospitality Committee Chair Candidate

Carrie Grice Joined ASHRM in 2011

Please list your 4 current/most recent involvement(s) with A/SHRM, NHRMA, and/or HRCI:
Year - New / Organization / Position
I want to serve on the ASHRM board because it will be a great opportunity for me to be more involved with my fellow HR professionals in terms of networking, community involvement, as well as growth and development. I would be delighted at the opportunity; it would be a first for me.

SHRM Foundation

Karen Zemba Joined ASHRM in 2010

Please list your 4 current/most recent involvement(s) with A/SHRM, NHRMA, and/or HRCI:
Year(s) / Organization / Position
1. 2010 / ASHRM / Co-Chair - SHRM Foundation
2. 2011 / ASHRM / Co-Chair - SHRM Foundation
I asked myself that many times so, for the longest time avoided it like the plague. One day I heard a plea for a co-chair at a monthly luncheon. Since then, I’ve been inspired and mentored by Bonnie Dorman. This BOD makes it their mantra for everyone to succeed and are willing to do whatever it takes to contribute to that success. Why WOULDN’T I want to serve on the ASHRM Board?

Sponsorship & Exhibitor Committee Chair

Patty Huston Joined ASHRM in 2005

Year(s) / Organization / Position

I have missed being part of the ASHRM Board this year! By serving on the Board, I am giving back to a great organization that has helped my professional HR development. In this position, I will strive to bring quality vendors and sponsors to our monthly luncheons and special events.
