Local Chapter Activity: News from Central

Sacramento Chapter
The Sacramento Chapter's September meeting featured an introduction to the Mentor Program that will provide opportunities for professionals and current graduate students to connect and provide support.

Unfortunately, due to poor turnout at the October meeting, the November meeting has been cancelled. If you would like to help in getting and keeping Sacramento members active, please contact Christina Rogers, Co-chair (916-833-6156; angelescc@comcast.net). She has done a fine job of organizing and could surely use some help for future events.

In recent Sacramento Chapter events: The "CCDA collaborates with Human Resources professionals" on April 5, 2008 was a successful career management workshop for Sacramento local HR professionals. This was the first time SAHRA (Sacramento Area Human Resources Association) provided career services for HR professionals who have been laid off or are in career transition. There were 47 participants. CCDA Board member Maureen White coordinated the partnership with SAHRA since she is also on the SAHRA Board supporting Members In Transition. Overall, the evaluations indicated very positive responses for the keynote on networking, and especially for the support of the Sacramento CCDA career professionals who consulted with HR professionals on resume review and career development. CCDA was represented by:

• Kathy Engelstad, CCDA President, Program Manager, Chapman University
• Sigrid Menard, Career Counselor, private practice
• Christina Rogers, M.S., Career Counselor (private practice), Co-Chair, Sacramento CCDA Chapter
• Maureen White, M.A., Ed.D., SPHR; CCDA and SAHRA Boards
• Georganna O’Keefe-Schwering
• Christopher Guilford, CSUS grad student, Career Counseling
• Lisa Carrillo, Chapman University grad student, Career Counseling
• Sara Pieschl, Career Counselor, CCDA Sacramento
• Brenda Vargas, grad student, Chapman University, Career Counseling. Brenda was also the Exhibitor Chair, ICDC 2007
• Julie McGilvray, Chapman University Career Counseling grad student. Also works at Wilcox, Miller Nelson
• Katherine Reinhardt, Chapman University, Human Resources masters program

Thank you, Sacramento CCDA. Way to go!

We encourage CCDA chapter chairs and area reps to coordinate similar partnering with their local HR and CCDA professionals. Maureen can assist with marketing and public awareness. Just contact your CCDA area rep if you need help!
