Letter from the President
Dear BHRA Members:
The weather is finally giving us hints that spring is around the corner. However, much like the world of Human Resources, the weather will change at a moment’s notice. The BHRA Board has been busy working to plan some great topics to help prepare you for our world of change.
Special Thank You to Cindy Harrington for coordinating the BHRA Annual Seminar held on February 24. The seminar is a great networking event for membership, and a great way to stay updated on topics within our field. Thanks, Cindy for a great event.
Please take a moment to visit the events tab at www.bhraoline.org, and mark your calendar for the membership meetings scheduled. Our March Presentation is Joe Freest, from MRA. He will present on Employee Engagement and Development of low cost strategies. (We can all use some low cost strategies these days!) This meeting has been approved for 1 recertification credit.
Our Board is always looking for new talent to help deliver value to our membership. If you are seeking an opportunity where you can give back to your community and your profession, please review details on becoming a board member on page 3 of this newsletter. Please reach out to myself or another board member if you have an interest in joining our board. We will hold formal elections at our May Meeting.
We look forward to seeing you at an upcoming BHRA event.
Sincerely,
Elaine Schultz, SPHR
BHRA President
