A Message from the Desk of the President of Highland Rim SHRM

    March 31, 2026

    Hello Highland Rim Members, potential members, and other HR professionals in the community!

        Our annual enrollment kicked off began in January of this year and is scheduled to end on April 4, 2026.  Our board has decided to EXTEND annual enrollment thru June 30, 2026.  For those that have been members, we encourage you to renew your membership.  For any of you that may not have been a member in the past, we encourage you to join.  More information about annual membership enrollment is included with this message 

        We have lined up several professional development opportunities for the year (more info to soon follow).  We've even considered the feedback we got from some of you in December at our annual social and at other times, to review what you would like to see offered this year.  Our website is in the process of being updated with some of these suggestions so please check within the next couple of weeks for the updates.  We will also send each of you an email about upcoming events and workshops.  Several things are planned

        Thank you for your continued interest in Highland Rim SHRM.  We look forward to connecting/reconnecting and collaborating with you!  Reach out if you have questions.

     

             Sincerely,

           Patricia Burks-Jelks
