What is AACA?

The Atlanta Area Compensation Association (AACA) was formed in 1990 by a group of compensation and benefits professionals interested in fostering education and exchange of information among compensation and benefits practitioners and policy makers.  AACA is a member of the WorldatWork Group Partnership Network, an international network of more than 80 compensation associations organized to facilitate communication and information sharing among its members.  AACA is a nonprofit organization.

President's Message

Dear Fellow AACA Members,

As we approach the midpoint of 2011, I wanted to bring you up to date on the chapter. The Board of Directors set three goals for the 2011 year. These goals were to increase Chapter Membership, Increase Chapter Meeting Attendance and Increase Chapter Volunteer Opportunities. The Board has been working hard on achieving these goals and I am happy to say that we are on track to meet all three. Our membership numbers are on track with last year and Julie Hutchings, VP of Membership is undertaking a few initiatives to help increase our numbers. An email campaign conducted in May did generate 30 new members. Our best membership marketing is each of you. Be sure to spread the word to your peers on the value an AACA membership brings to a compensation professional in Atlanta.

Our Chapter meetings have returned to a consistent, second Tuesday of the month on a bi-monthly basis. This makes it easier for you to plan to attend and our meeting attendance has significantly increased during the first three meetings of this year. The meeting attendance increase has also had a lot to do with the excellent programs that Joey Yates and his programs committee have arranged. We also moved our meetings this year from the Ravinia Club to 400 NorthPark, Georgia Room. This venue provides us with more flexibility and we do not have to pay for parking.

Something new this year is the additional of AACA hosting World at Work classes in Atlanta. We hosted our first class in March and will be hosting a second class in September. Jeremy Greenup, Director at Large has been instrumental in coordinating these classes with World at Work and handling all of the logistics. I want to thank Mercer for hosting the first class at their facility in Buckhead. AACA members receive a 10% discount if they attend a World at Work class which is a new benefit of membership.

Another new benefit we have just recently added is the creation of a Linked In Group. The group is called Atlanta Area Compensation Association and is limited to active AACA members only. The Board of Directors encourages all active AACA members to join this group to exchange compensation ideas or ask relevant questions. This site is not for solicitation and will be monitored for any abuse. Jennifer Attaway, Director at Large, is the manager of this group.

Our next event is our annual Forum which will be held on August 9th at the Cobb Galleria. Erin Leymann, Director at Large, is chairing the Forum this year. She is working closely with Joey Yates and the program committee to provide the excellent program content we have come to expect at the Forum. Look for more information from Erin shortly. We will also repeat the drawing for some great prizes that we initiated last year since they were so well received. Start spreading the word and getting your comp friends and co-workers to save the date.

One final change for this year will be the December meeting. We will be returning to a late afternoon meeting with a cocktail reception immediately following. The December meeting will be held on December 13th, with registration from 3:00 to 3:30, program from 3:30 to 4:30 and then the Holiday reception from 4:30 to 5:30. This will be a great time to catch up with old friends and make some new ones. We hope to see all of you at this year end event.

Finally, the AACA chapter is a totally volunteer organization. We need you to help continue to grow this organization and expand the offerings we have. If you would like to get involved, simply contact me or one of the other Board members. We appreciate your support and help.

Sincerely,

Diane Tuccito, SPHR, CCP, GRP

President, AACA
