After a decade with the former logo, SAHRA’s Board of Directors and staff set out to reimagine the logo and modernize it as we look towards the future. To better reflect the unique region we represent, the logo now incorporates the iconic Tower Bridge.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif;"></span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif;">While SAHRA’s logo may be new, our mission remains the same - to inspire, engage, and develop HR professionals to meet the challenges of a constantly changing business environment. We hope you will continue to join us on this journey as we connect and grow together, advance professionally, and ensure a thriving human resource community in the greater Sacramento region.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif;">&nbsp;</span></p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: #403f42; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif;">Thank you for your continued support in the form of membership, event participation, and volunteer engagement.

<title>This Week&apos;s Board Member Spotlight: Peter Meadows, VP of Member Services</title>
<link>https://www.sahra.org/news/news.asp?id=565768</link>
<guid>https://www.sahra.org/news/news.asp?id=565768</guid>
<description><![CDATA[<img alt="" src="https://www.sahra.org/resource/resmgr/images/spotlights/pete_meadows.png" style="float: left; width: 250px; height: 210px; margin-right: 5px;" /><p><b>Briefly describe your organization, role, and how long you have been involved.<br /></b>I currently work at Bonney Plumbing, Electrical, &amp; HVAC as the Human Resources Director. I oversee all HR functions to include M&amp;A due diligence, recruiting, employee
    relations, executive coaching, training development, benefits, and compliance.</p>
<p><br /><b>How many years have you been in HR? What do you enjoy about the industry?&nbsp;<br /></b>Technically I have held an HR title since 2012. However I also spent 12 years in the Army and spent much of that time dealing with personnel issues, training,
    on and off-boarding, discipline and policies. I absolutely love the ability I have to help people on a daily basis in HR. Plus no day is ever the same and I really enjoy that.</p>
<p><br /><b>How long have you been involved with SAHRA?&nbsp;<br /></b>I've been a SAHRA member since 2006.</p>
<p><br /><b>How has membership with SAHRA affected you and your career?&nbsp;<br /></b>SAHRA is an incredibly useful resource and gives me a lot of peace of mind knowing that if I run across a problem or an issue I have not faced, there is a huge network of HR
    professionals out there to turn to for advice and guidance.</p>
<p><br /><b>What challenges do you believe will face the HR industry in the future?&nbsp;<br /></b>Wow...where to begin with this. HR is an ever changing field and now even more so after the COVID-19 pandemic. I think we will see continued changes in companies
    moving to more remote work and flexible work locations which will definitely be a challenge here in CA. I also think that greater political polarization will mean more changes to federal employment laws and compliance.</p>
<p><br /><b>In your spare time, what do you do for fun?&nbsp;<br /></b>Spare time? What's that? I have 4 sons ranging from 7 to 15 who keep me pretty busy. Luckily they are all starting to share my interests as well so much of our time is taken up with sports,
    scuba diving, kayaking, hiking and generally loving the outdoors.</p>
<p><br /><b>What is one thing most of your colleagues don’t know about you?&nbsp;</b><br />I collect watches, so if you don't actually work with me or aren't paying attention, you'll probably never see me wear the same watch twice in the same few months. </p>]]></description>

This award recognizes outstanding achievements in chapter operations and a commitment to providing meaningful programs and services to members.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #36495f; font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;">The award is the result of two of SAHRA’s programs held last year, the Mega HR Conference and the Mental Health &amp; HR Series. Both programs occurred as a result of the pandemic. When it became clear SAHRA could not host its in-person conference, the Board of Directors quickly adjusted to a virtual program. SAHRA partnered with eight fellow SHRM chapters to host a dynamic virtual event, with hundreds of attendees from across the state. Special thanks are owed to 2020 Conference Chair Drew Berryessa and SAHRA’s 2020 President Carrie Schleicher for their leadership during unprecedented times.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #36495f; font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;">The second award-winning initiative, the Mental Health &amp; HR series, consisted of three sessions for HR professionals to learn how to better focus on their own needs, mental health and to implement personal practices to avoid burnout. Special thanks to SAHRA’s Vice President of Professional Development Emily Santanelli for organizing this program!</span></p> <p><span style="color: #36495f; font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif;">Thank you to the members, event participants, board members, volunteers, speakers, and sponsors who have allowed SAHRA to continue to advance its mission to inspire, engage, and develop HR professionals despite the challenges of the past year.</span></p> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> </div> <p style="text-align: center;"><span>&nbsp;</span></p>]]></description>

I've been an HR generalist with the firm for several years. I started my career in audit, but transitioned into HR after about 3 years, and I've not looked back! I've been with the firm going on 28 years (excluding a 6 year break). The people I work for and with are the reason why I've stayed with PwC.</span><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-weight: 700; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #222222;"></span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; background-color: #ffffff;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 9pt; font-weight: 700; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #222222;">How many years have you been in HR?

What I enjoy most about the industry is helping others in all aspects of their career. </span></span></p><div style="box-sizing: border-box; background-color: #ffffff; text-align: center;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #222222;"></span></div><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; background-color: #ffffff;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #222222;">How long have you been involved with SAHRA?</span></span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; background-color: #ffffff;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #222222;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; color: #304457;">I've been with SAHRA for approximately five years actively. I'd joined SAHRA once I had my HR credential. Honestly, I joined strictly for the recertification credits. It wasn't until Julie Worley, then President, reached out to get involved that I really committed to the Association.
