Hello Region 6 chapter leaders in the states of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and all other chapter leaders across the country!![050422_SayHelloGreen](https://blogs.payroll.org/hs-fs/hubfs/chapter-blog-images/050422_SayHelloGreen.png?width=235&height=166&name=050422_SayHelloGreen.png) As of May 5, 2023, Nicole Orr, CPP decided to step down as Region 6 Board of Advisor due to personal circumstances. PAYO is thankful for the time Nicole served as Region 6 Advisor and hope to have her serve again in the future. Carrie Louise Hovell, CPP, accepted the remainder of the Region 6 term through May 31, 2024. We want to share with you a little bit more about your Advisor. *![Carrie Louise Hovell, CPP_Region 6](https://blogs.payroll.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Chapters/Carrie%20Louise%20Hovell%2c%20CPP_Region%206.jpeg?width=200&height=260&name=Carrie%20Louise%20Hovell%2c%20CPP_Region%206.jpeg)* ***Tell us a little bit about yourself?*** *I’m originally from Cape Cod, Massachusetts but reside in Northern Virginia (outside DC). I have been in payroll 25 years now (just know that hurts me to type that now). I love going to the theatre and have season tickets at the Kennedy Center since the 2000-2001 season. Craft fairs are my favorite place to be because my grandmother taught me how to count back change when I was 5 from her booth. And I do know how to craft too. I collect random things. Right now, I’m stuck on Yeti products.*   ***How long have you been involved with PAYO and Local Chapters?*** *I’ve been involved with the WMAC since 1999 and PAYO since 2004 just after I earned my CPP.* ***What goal would you like to achieve as a Regional Advisor?*** *To be a matter of support, guidance, and developer. I want to be there to help with ideas and give feedback if warranted. I can help with vendors, speakers, and other areas a chapter is struggling as I have participated in most committees in my local chapter over the last 20 years. I utilized my chapter’s CPP Study Group to prepare for my CPP exam, so I support chapters helping members to get ready for the test.* ***What advice would you like to give to the chapters in your region?*** *Always ASK! Don’t be afraid to ask a question. The only stupid question is the one not asked. I want to be a help to the local chapters but without knowing they have a question; I can’t be of help. So please ASK! I’m here for you.![Region 6 Map](https://blogs.payroll.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Chapters/Region%206%20Map.png?width=300&height=266&name=Region%206%20Map.png)* ***How do you use social media to help promote and market the chapters in your region? What handles do you use? What is your handle/profile name?*** *I utilize Facebook and LinkedIn to show off location chapters and statewide/region conferences. You can see I’m quite active with the WMAC and VSPC so I am here to help getting the word out for their events. My profile name is Carrie Louise Hovell on both medias.* ***How do you plan to interact with chapters in your region?*** *If a chapter or statewide/regional conference would like me to attend a board meeting, I’m on board. I am happy to contribute if they would like me to or to be there as support. I will utilize the LinkedIn group. I will be hosting Regional Meetings quarterly but am also happy to meet with a chapter at any time.* Please share your "hellos" below! --- ![blogs.payroll.orghubfssocial-suggested-imageswww.nationalpayrollweek.comwp-contentuploads202301NPW-Logo-23-1](https://blogs.payroll.org/hs-fs/hubfs/social-suggested-images/blogs.payroll.orghubfssocial-suggested-imageswww.nationalpayrollweek.comwp-contentuploads202301NPW-Logo-23-1.jpg?width=200&height=142&name=blogs.payroll.orghubfssocial-suggested-imageswww.nationalpayrollweek.comwp-contentuploads202301NPW-Logo-23-1.jpg) It's almost National Payroll Week!
