Our January Event - Annual Employment Law Update and HR Survival Skills Test
The day to day existence of a human resources professional can, at some times, feel as a survival game where contestants, without much, if any prior notice, must use their just wits and whatever tools they have at their finger tips to respond to any number of pressing workplace issues.  For more info, check our flyer.

When coming to the Meeting, please consider support of the
Coats, Hats, Gloves and other warm clothes to New Horizons for area Homeless - Jim Reidy's Legal Update this month is entitled "HR Naked and Afraid". While this is going to be an educational and entertaining update, in keeping with the theme we would like to collect new or gently used hats, gloves, coats and other warm clothes to be donated to New Horizons and then distributed to the area's many homeless people.
New Hampshire Food Bank - Dry Goods and Canned Goods. A reminder that MAHRA selected the NH Food Bank as its main charitable partner this year. The NH Food Bank serves greater Manchester and the need for food is greater now more than ever. We are looking for canned goods and dry goods to stock the Food Bank's pantry. Every little bit counts.

Thanks in advance for your generous gifts.

Save the Date for our Second Annual Member Appreciation Gala!  The MAHRA Board of Directors would like to invite you to our Gala on February 9, 2017 from 5:30 - 8:30 pm.  Invitation and Details to follow!
