The Great Lakes Employment Assessment Network (GLEAN) is now recruiting chapter officers. GLEAN is a collaborative committee dedicated to furthering the mission of IPAC within the Great Lakes region and meets monthly to discuss best practices in employment assessment.

If you would like to nominate yourself or somebody else for the open positions, please contact Vice Chair Ty Smith at ty.smith@macys.com for the nomination form.

The two open positions are as follows:

The Treasurer shall have signatory responsibilities for GLEAN accounts, manage the GLEAN budget as approved by the IPAC Board of Directors, report regularly to the Chapter Chair, and ensure GLEAN financial statements, procedures, and controls are in place and practiced, consistent with sound financial management, including external review as appropriate, and in compliance with legal and regulatory guidelines. The Treasurer shall also provide updates to the IPAC Board of Directors when requested. Position will be held for 2 years.

The Membership/Marketing Chair will be responsible for seeking and implementing means in which to gain interest in IPAC/GLEAN and GLEAN events and activities. The Membership/Marketing Chair may appoint chapter members to the Membership/Marketing Sub-Committee and may establish sub-committees as needed to aid in the fulfillment of Membership/Marketing related goals. Position will be held for 2 years.

The IPAC Student/Early Career Learning Series presents Current Topics in Pay Equity, facilitated by Lisa Harpe, Ph.D.

The last few years have seen a dramatic increase in the scrutiny of employers’ pay practices. As more states codify their own pay equity regulations and as employers face inquiries from shareholders, the public and their own employees, employers are taking an in depth look at the fairness of their compensation systems. Dr. Harpe will provide an overview of pay equity: what it is and how it is evaluated. Dr. Harpe will provide an overview of the legal and analytic framework for evaluating pay equity, including the differences between a wage gap and pay equity study and the different considerations when conducting a pay equity study in a proactive as opposed to reactive manner (e.g., after a legal inquiry or lawsuit).

This is a FREE event for both IPAC members and non-members, so register today!

We hope that you will join us!
