President's Message

Hello CVHRMA members,

As the president of CVHRMA I would like to welcome all new and returning members!

CVHRMA continues to be a resource for local business and human resources professionals. We promote fellowship and an understanding of human resource management and strive to increase effectiveness of both workers and management by keeping members informed on industry trends.

As the premiere HR organization in the area, CVHRMA members benefit from networking with HR professionals and companies through local professional development opportunities, access to current best practices, opportunities to develop leadership skills, and development of reputation and credential in the HR field.

The trying times we have experienced over the last two years have without a doubt changed our workplaces as we know them. CVHRMA is committed to being the professional resource you need. We continue to make logistical and program changes so that we can meet the needs of our members.

We are always looking for great people who want to make a difference in the profession. If you are interested in participating as a volunteer, feel free to email me at president@cvhrma.org. We are also always looking for suggestions on how we can make CVHRMA a better value. Please feel free to send me any suggestions or feedback. We are here for you!

Sincerely,

Sharon Pohl

President – CVHRMA
