Roscoe Resident Possible Chief Human Resources Officer

The team for the Rockford School District has decided to make a request at the next school board gathering, which is set to take place on the 31^st of July. The request that will be made is to have Angel Contreras serve as the chief human resources officer for Rockford School District. Contreras currently serves the position as the human resources director for the GE Aviation, which is located in Rockford. Before taking the human resources directing position, he worked within the Human Resources Department for William Wrigley Jr. Company, which is actually located in Illinois. Contreras was a member of the United States Navy and has a bachelor’s degree which he obtained from the University of Iowa. He also has a master’s degree, obtained from the Aurora University.

The district searched for quite some time to find different candidates for the position. Out of all the individuals, there were about 40 people who qualified for the particular position. The district spent plenty of time interviewing each of the individuals to decide who would ultimately be the best candidate for the position and after all interviews, Contreras was chosen as the overall best candidate for the position. The Superintendent for the Rockford Public School District, Dr. Robert Willis, says that human capital is absolutely most important and that Contreras has the right skills and training for the position. Willis says Contreras shows strong leadership skills and has the kind of experience that is needed to increase performance and help develop customer service so that everything operates efficiently and properly.

Dr. Willis says that the district has plenty of goals set for the position and believes that Contreras will help to make those goals happen and actually become accomplished. Willis believes that Contreras has the ability to lead the school district, especially during a period in time when the district is working on becoming more competitive and hiring the right kinds of professionals for the different positions. The position has already been approved for the district’s budget and if all goes through, Contreras will receive around $150,000 each year and will start the position on August 6^th.

Contreras is not just experienced with human resources; he is also an active member of the community. He is a bilingual, married for eighteen years, and has several children. He is family-oriented, which makes him an even better selection for the position. Contreras is hoping to have the opportunity to show off his experience and all that he has learned over the years in the human resources department.
