In Memory of Alice O. Stanelun
In October 2006 we lost a valued member of the HRM-RI Board.
Alice Stanelun,
who served as Chapter Management Professional
and Secretary, passed
away after a battle with ovarian cancer.
Most of you will remember Alice as the cheerful face, early in the morning,
who handed you a name tag at our breakfast meetings. Her contributions
to HRM were so much more.
As an experienced businesswoman she gave
us valuable advice on administering and promoting HRM. Although
initially she knew little about the Human Resource pro-
fession,
she made it a priority to learn about our challenges and needs.
Alice joined SHRM and attended the annual Leadership Conference
in order to fully contribute to the association. HRM also benefited
from Alice ’s
wide network of contacts. She was always quick to offer a connection
to sponsors, speakers and other professionals we sought.
Personally,
Alice was a great friend and cheerleader. Many of you will recall
a time when Alice offered you advice, a referral, or just a listening
ear. She was an excellent networker and was ready to include anyone
in her wide web of friends and associates. What I’ll remember
best about Alice is the overwhelming example she gave of the power
of a positive attitude and strong courage in the face of many difficult
obstacles.
The HRM-RI Board has voted to establish an annual recognition
award in honor of Alice. A committee will be working to formulate
the criteria and nomination process for the The Alice
Stanelun Award for Outstanding Support of the Human Resource Profession.
Details will be announced in the spring.
In the meantime, HRM-RI members who wish to express their regard for
Alice and their sympathy for her family may consider making a donation
to the Program in Women's Oncology, 101 Dudley Street, Providence,
RI, 02905, for purposes of the "Alice Stanelun Memorial Fund" to
improve the lives of ovarian cancer patients.
