Letter from the President
Dear BHRA Members:
I hope you are all having a wonderful summer and finding some time away from the office to have some fun in the sun!
I would like to extend a thank you to all who participated in the “One Day to Make a Difference” event at the Job Center on Friday, June 11th. This was a great opportunity for us, as human resources professionals, to give back to the community and more specifically job seekers, in the Rock County area. A special thank you to Jessica Zimbelman and Amy Charles on all of their hard work coordinating this fantastic event!
BHRA is excited about our upcoming year of programming! Thank you to all who completed the member survey, as the results helped shape our planning for the coming year! Stay tuned, as our schedule will soon be posted online at bhraonline.org.
Our membership campaign is in full swing! You should have all received your membership registration. If you have any questions or did not receive your registration materials, please contact Kim Woletz at kwoletz@vnecorp.com.
Please have a safe and relaxing summer and remember to watch your email fo information on our "kick-off" BHRA meeting on September 14!
Sincerely,
Colleen Koerth, PHR
BHRA President
