Monthly Meeting 

As a result of these challenging times, we will be cancelling our next CAHRA Meeting on April 1^st.  We will keep you posted on future events as well.

In the meantime, we wanted to provide you with some great resources from SHRM including updated information regarding the continually changing COVID-19 situation as well as many other HR related topics.  The link below is to SHRM Webcasts available to anyone (not just SHRM members).  Also listed is a link to a list of SHRM Certification approved books.  This is a great way to continue to receive your recertification credits during this time of social distancing.
