Before coming to NCC, Howard worked at New Jersey Community Development Corporation (NJCDC) for 15 years. She ran two programs for NJCDC for her first three years of employment. After that, she was promoted to the Director of Human Resources and Administration for NJCDC.

Howard decided to pursue a new employment opportunity to help her career grow and develop and liked the idea of working for NCC, which has an extensive history and is a larger organization than her previous employer.

���I felt it would be a great transition for me. It���s a large organization so it gives me an opportunity to take what I���ve learned and then learn what I can from this organization and take it to another level,��� Howard said.

As Manager of Human Resources, Howard is responsible for all of NCC���s HR functions under the direction of Director of Human Resources Benjamin Galvez, including hiring, orientation, employee relations, benefits and risk management. She oversees HR staff members and ensures the department runs smoothly.

Howard holds a bachelor���s degree in psychology and a master���s degree in public administration but didn���t start working in human resources until she was asked to step into that role at NJCDC after a colleague received a promotion. She obtained the necessary credentials to work in an HR role and received training in the field. She currently has the PHR (Professional in Human Resources) and SHRM-CP (Society for Human Resource Management Certified Professional) certifications.

���Tina brings to us a great combination of human resources and nonprofit experience that is a good fit to grow our Human Resources Department and our continued efforts to fulfill NCC���s mission,��� Galvez said.

Howard���s favorite part of her job is employee relations because she works well with people.

���It allows me to get to know individuals. It allows me to troubleshoot,��� Howard said. ���It���s an opportunity to use my psychology background.���

Howard is from Passaic County. She has a husband, stepson and stepgrandchild.��

In her spare time, Howard enjoys many forms of entertainment. She is a music buff who attends many jazz festivals. She also likes plays, Broadway shows, reading and going to the movies.

Howard plans to learn as much as possible and help NCC achieve its goals and objectives for the Human Resources Department and agency wide.

���I���m excited to be part of the team and just looking forward to working with everyone,��� Howard said. ���I see the future looking very bright for all of us. I���m really happy to be here.

91心頭���s administrative professionals took part in a celebration of the work they do April 25 at St. Joseph Plaza.

The event, which took place on Administrative Professionals Day, was all about thanking the employees and giving them a chance to relax.

91心頭 CEO Richard Rohrman thanked the employees for their hard work and for being the face of the organization to the public.

���You really carry 91心頭���s name and 91心頭���s mission. And you transfer that to the people you see,��� he said. ���You really are the first impression that many people have of 91心頭 and I want to thank you for the great job you do representing 91心頭.���

As a token of appreciation, employees received gift cards to a variety of places, including AMC, Buffalo Wild Wings, Bed Bath & Beyond, Chipotle, Taco Bell, Burger King, Best Buy and Uber.

91心頭 Chief of Staff Kathy Spivey told the group to make sure they use the gift cards to get something for themselves.

���We understand that you have stressful times but today is giving you that opportunity to think about you,��� she said, adding that when you take care of yourself, you���re able to be more effective.

91心頭 Director of Mission Frances Teabout spoke at the event about how to reduce stress and live a balanced life. She gave three Rs to help with that goal: recall, reflect and relax. She asked employees to recall a time in their life that was stress-free, and think about the goals they had at that time. Then she told them to reflect on the reason some of those dreams or goals didn���t come true and determine if they could still be possibilities. Finally, Teabout told the group to relax and enjoy life because we only have limited time in this world.

���Since our days are short and they are numbered, we should use them in positive ways and we should live every day to the fullest,��� she said. ���And so that is our challenge to you: That you relax and enjoy life because we only go around one time.���

The event included relaxation tips and exercises aimed to calm. Participants got to color, which is a stress-reducing activity. They watched a few videos aimed to entertain and ended with lunch and cake.

91心頭���s Human Resources Department organized the event and HR Manager Anna Sing-King served as the day���s host.
