Schoenwald Elected to be an Officer of New Consortium

Ira Schoenwald, associate vice president of Human Resources at Illinois State University, has been elected treasurer of the newly created Illinois Higher Education Consortium on Human Capital. 

The group was established by Human Resources leaders from the Illinois' public university to explore solutions of common challenges involving human capital; to serve as a forum for information exchange, knowledge transfer, and innovation around best practices; and to address issues that may be barriers to efficient and effective performance in human capital.  An early step of this Consortium will be to establish affinity groups on such topics as training and development, compensation, and labor relations.

The University of Illinois at Chicago's John Loya is consortium chair, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign's Elyne Cole was elected vice chair; and Western Illinois University's Pam Bowman is recorder.
