Each year SERC NAHRO is proud to participate in the What Home Means to Me Poster Contest. Hosted by the SERC Emerging Leaders Committee, each of the 10 SERC NAHRO member states hosts a poster contest selecting a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winner for each age category. Once state winners are selected, they are sent to SERC NAHRO and judged on the regional level. Winners are then selected on the regional level and forwarded on to SERC NAHRO for the national competition. This year, NAHRO Fellows Shaundra Clark (Tifton, GA), Jacob Oglesby (Augusta, GA), Thomas Rowe (Murfreesboro, TN), and Ailrick Young (Laurel, MS) judged the SERC NAHRO coemption and selected the winders to be forwarded on to the national level.

Sunday Reception

The SERC-NAHRO Opening Session is a tradition spanning back decades of SERC history.

To bring the conference to a close we all gathered together to celebrate the accomplishments of SERC NAHRO Agencies over the last two years.

Held on Monday June 13th, SERC held its business meeting. Each member of the Executive Committee Member gave a brief report of their offices and the committees within their portfolio. Within the Business Meeting Officers for the 2021-2023 term were elected, with Shaundra Clark (Tifton, GA) being elected President. Following the business meeting, SERC was treated to brief remarks from Sunny Shaw, NAHRO President.

For the first time, a reception specifically for Commissioners was planned to encourage collaboration and conversation.

No conference would be complete without a wonderful selection of educational opportunities.

The Executive Committee Meeting was held on June 12th and gave each Executive Committee the opportunity to report on the status of their committee’s 2019-2021 goals.

During our Legislative Luncheon, Tess Hembree (NAHRO Director of Congressional Relations) gave us a brief update on how we can made assist in national congressional relations. NAHRO President, Sunny Shaw then introduced Patricia S. Wells current NAHRO Senior Vice President and NAHRO Presidential Candidate. Though Patricia was unable to join us in person, she was able to send a video message sharing more about her platform for NAHRO President. Sunny then introduced both candidates for NAHRO Senior Vice President, George Green and Marsha Parham-Green. Both Senior Vice President candidates shared brief remarks and answered questions from the audience.

The President’s Reception was another opportunity for attendees to come together and catch up after a long year without conferences. Attendees could enjoy the What Home Means to Me Poster Contest entries.
