The HR Emerging Professionals Learning Series is BACK for year 2! I’m so excited to present and host this awesome year of programming aimed to help students and young/emerging professionals. I learned throughout 2022 that we were also getting turn out at our events from roles such as Office Managers and Administrative Assistants, who had accepted those roles and then were given HR responsibilities, as well as even more experienced HR pros who may not work in the given month’s topic area every day and were looking for a refresher! Do any of these describe you? I hope to see you at an event soon!
You can find all BNHRA events on our event page here!
As of now, I’m planning to host the 2023 series on Zoom. Events will be free for BNHRA members, and $5 for non-members. Zoom events will be recorded and then housed in the member only area of our BNHRA site. So if you are not a member, and are paying $5 to attend the event, please only register if you can attend live, as recordings are only accessible to BNHRA members. One of our lovely member perks (:

I’m excited to announce the BNHRA 2022 HR Emerging Professionals Learning Series! I will be coordinating and hosting this series as part of my new role with the BNHRA Board of Directors – College Relations Director! I heard from students and young / emerging HR professionals that they wanted more 101 types of events and Q&A time with HR pros working in various HR functions! We will be following the SHRM BASK for this learning series.
