Hi Tom,
Hope all is well.
David Morgan contacted you about a month ago related to passing
some PTC/MW info along to students and faculty that might be interested in
membership. We would appreciate it if you would forward the email below, which
includes a short description of PTC/MW, our most recent monthly update, and a
description of the fantastic new website we just launched. Let me know if you
have any questions.
Thanks,
Eric

SUMMARY:
As evidenced by the recent SIOP name change vote, I/O Psychology seeks to
develop itself as a strategic, forward-thinking HR discipline that improves
business performance in our rapidly changing world. As HR organizations
evolve, with globalization, technology, and HR Outsourcing (HRO), it is
critical that I/O Psychology views business changes as opportunities for I/O
Psychologists to contribute more broadly to HR management - and contribute more
value at the HR executive and CEO level. Kevin will discuss recent
research and trends in HRO, HR areas where I/O Psychology can contribute more
value, and strategies to help our profession "raise its game" to a
higher level.
