I just spoke to Gustavo Estrada, Sr. Manager, Corporate Relations, LDS Employment Resource Services, about Action Item #7, “Develop & execute a strategic alliance with LDS Employment by 9/30/09.” Gustavo informed me that LDS Employment Resource Services is developing a new website which will be rolled out at the end of this year. Gustavo Estrada, a member of the Steering Committee of the BYU Management Society, is amending our letter to all chapter presidents to include information on this new website. He will also be available to lead a discussion at our annual leadership conference.
I suggested that there are at least three areas that we can work on to developing the relationship between the BYU Management Society and LDS ERS:
- Have a representative of LDS ERS on every chapter board and jointly sponsor events between the BYU Management Society and LDS ERS.
- Have a chapter of the BYU Management Society in every location where there is an LDS ERS office. There are 314 LDS ERS offices worldwide and with support from that organization, should provide a core group to start new chapters. LDS ERS could actively encourage those who utilize the facilities to join the local chapter.
- Promote all of the above on this blog, our Facebook group and LinkedIn.
Please share your comments and thoughts below.
Bill Chapman, Steering Committee Chair

The Silicon Valley Chapter of the BYU Management Society has a very strong and effective relationship with our local ERS Office. The Manager for ERS in the San Francisco Bay area teaches at least one series each month of 1) How to Find Good Jobs, 2) How to Create an Effective Resume and 3) How to Have an Effective Resume. The Management Society co-sponsors this series. The Management Society also provides an effective networking source for people who take the series and others who are mentored by ERS.
I agree. I would bet that we already have at least 20 chapters who have a LDS ERS person on their board — maybe more. Rixa/Robert, I suggest in our next survey we find out the answer to this question — we could even consider making it one of our measurables and/or put it on the Dean’s Award of Excellence. Jennifer, we might want to consider having a newsletter article on it.
