Read my recent write-up by Executives In Action:
The EIA experience led one executive to consider opportunities she had only once dreamed possible. Di Ann Sanchez came to EIA in February 2010 and was able to transition from a career in corporate America to becoming a business owner and teacher. With more than 25 years of human resource experience, Di Ann joined EIA for the community service aspect of the organization, but was also interested in exploring the impact of the HR discipline in the nonprofit sector. Di Ann completed three EIA projects, which gave her insight into a full range of nonprofit HR functionality. She worked with United Way to create an updated HR policy manual requiring hours of research to ensure the guidelines were accurate and matched nonprofit sector require- ments. Di Ann also created new job descriptions for over 100 employment positions, outlined a new salary grade format and provided a full job and compensation analysis for MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving). In addition, she created an HR Strategy Plan for Project Transformation.
“Even with my corporate experience, my consulting work and several years of teaching, I never would have been able to gain the in-depth knowledge about the nonprofit HR perspective like I did through my experience at EIA,” Di Ann said. “I feel my time with EIA helped to make me a more versatile HR executive.”
Di Ann is completing her PhD in Organizational Management and Human Resources. She has presented at the SHRM (Society of Human Resource Management) 2012 Talent Man- agement Conference highlighting research regarding the Hispanic/Latino workforce. Additionally, she teaches the SHRM Es- sentials of Human Resources for Tarrant County Community College (TCCD) and is a national instructor for Institute for Applied Management (IAML).
Congratulations, Di Ann!
