We just completed our first 6 months into 2020.  What changes have taken place so far!  Looking back 6 months, who would have thought we would temporarily focus solely on virtual meetings?  SAHRMA has made efforts to keep our membership the number one goal when it comes to education, resource materials, and engagement. 

In the last 6 months, SAHRMA has opted to utilize a webinar platform to host our general meetings and special presentations, increased our social media presence, added a COVID-19 Resource Center on our website, created fun virtual mixers, offered a special membership renewal program of $20 off in 2020, and also created a Membership only Forum Page for interactions/discussions on hot topics and situations affecting our local working environment. 

As a board, we are considering such topics as extending our membership coverage, revising job posting rates offered, and revamping our Sponsorship levels and how it would impact the return of investment for them.  More updates on these agendas to follow.

What can we do to help navigate through these times as an association?  Your input is valued.  In fact, it was your input that brought these changes and items to review.  SAHRMA listens to our membership.  We are here for, and because of, YOU.

Again, we wish to thank you for all the feedback, and suggestions you have brought to make us a better organization with substance, and strengthening our local chapter as an affiliation of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM).
