area companies that would like to have one or several students, in
high school, job shadow or perform an internship for them. The
experience is to allow the student, to see the different areas of a
field, that they may be interested in majoring in such as: manage-
ment, human resources, accounting, engineering, etc. It may also
allow the employer to see a prospective college intern or future em-
ployee upon graduating. The overall experience will be a win-win
for all involved! If your company maybe interested in participating

Honoring Differences
…….Diversity Matters The Secret to Dealing With Diversity…...The first thing to
know about “Diversity” is that it is not (or should not be) a code
word for Affirmative Action. Affirmative Action is not without con-
troversy. It has its ardent supporters... and its critics. But that’s
not what Diversity is about. Each of us certainly is responsible for
our own actions. And our primary responsibility is to recognize
reality...and deal with it appropriately. Thus the Secret: Under-
stand the true nature of the American workforce. ..and the true
meaning of Diversity. The clichéd image of the American popula-
tion (and workforce) is as a melting pot of homogeneous same-
ness—in which people of different genders, races and heritage are
assimilated is incorrect. A far more accurate image is that it is a vari-
ety of unique individuals who are integrated, while maintaining the
special identity of each. Which brings us to the true meaning of Di-
versity
All the ways we are different from (and similar to) others
Our perceptions and opinions about those differences
How we treat people based on those perceptions and opinions.
Diversity is not a social problem to be solved, but a business oppor-
tunity (e.g., an
expanded customer base, a broader source of employee talent, a
more harmonious
workplace) - to be optimized. And it’s not just another fad. Diversity
is the way
things are.

annual
golf outing
2010 EHRA Golf Outing The 2009 EHRA Golf Outing is scheduled for Wednesday, July 28, 2010 with a shotgun start at 1:00 p.m. Members and guests are welcome to join us for a “cool” afternoon of fun and fellowship. The outing will be at Eagle Valley Golf Course on Petersburg Road. This is a best ball scramble so you don’t have to be a good golfer to come out and enjoy the sun and fun. Golfers need to be at the course by at least 12:40 p.m. to be ready for the 1:00 p.m. shotgun start. Eagle Valley Golf Course requires soft spikes on all golf surfaces.
If you are unable to join us for the golf, please meet us in the evening for a social hour of dinner. We hope that all members will join us for an excel-lent opportunity to network and socialize with other human resource pro-fessionals and guests.
The golf registration deadline is Friday, July 23rd, in order to match-up foursomes and know the number of golfers. You can register online under the monthly event calendar at www.ehranet.org or by using the form be-low.
