Message From the President

Happy February, HRMA! So far this year is off to an excellent start. Thank you to all of our volunteers who served at the January Committee Fair! Our committee volunteers work exceptionally hard to keep HRMA moving forward with our monthly meetings, events, and all the behind-the-scenes work such as making our monthly membership renewal phone calls. I hope any of you looking for volunteer opportunities found time to visit with the committees. Click here to read more.

Afterwards, members will have the opportunity to break into roundtables headed by a local employment law attorney. Members will rotate tables three times, after spending 30-minutes at each table, giving members the opportunity to hear a total of three different topics of their choice.
