The Manchester Area Human Resources Association
was originally formed in 1954 by a small group of local professionals
who were interested in sharing information and experiences about
personnel issues. MAHRA was affiliated with the Society for
Human Resource Management in 1973. MAHRA currently maintains
a membership of over 150 members representing a diverse range
of professionals working in the interests of human resource
management for private and public organizations of all types
and sizes, as well as education and various service firms that
contribute to the needs and goals of the profession.
To satisfy this professional diversity, and as a means of responding
to the ever-changing demands of the field, the chapter serves
its members by conducting monthly program meetings, seminars,
professional accreditation opportunities, and social events.
In addition, MAHRA provides information on legal and legislative
matters and representation to state and national human resources
associations. |
The mission of The Manchester Area Human Resources Association
is to provide high quality programs of interest to human resource
professionals, as well as an opportunity to network with other
HR professionals on a variety of topics. In furtherance of this
mission MAHRA will:
- Provide opportunities for conferences, research and exchange
of knowledge and experience among members.
- Provide a forum for the personal and professional development
of MAHRA members.
- Provide an opportunity to develop leadership, managerial,
public speaking, and group decision making skills.
- Provide an opportunity to focus on current human resource
management issues of importance to the membership.
- Provide focus for legislative attention to state and
national human resource management issues.
- Provide valuable information gathering and dissemination
channels.
