LAHRA was established in 2006 by a small group of Livingston County HR professionals who were looking for local networking and support.  Within six months of the first program meeting, LAHRA met the requirements for affiliation with the Society of Human Resource Management, and became its 708th chapter.  In early 2007, the chapter was designated a Superior Merit Chapter by SHRM for accomplishments during its first calendar year of existence, a distinguished honor. 

LAHRA prides itself on offering quality speakers at its monthly program meetings, with an emphasis on topics which are approved for HRCI recertification credits.  In addition, the organization looks for opportunities to contribute to the community through related volunteer efforts, and supports the national organization through fundraising for the SHRM Foundation.  LAHRA is closely linked with its sister chapters in Detroit, Lansing and Ann Arbor, and occasionally sponsors joint meetings or events with these chapters. 

LAHRA welcomes members and non-members to attend its monthly program meetings and other events.  We encourage interested professionals to submit a membership application, and to become actively involved in the organization as a volunteer.  For more information, please explore our website or contact us at info@livingstonhr.org.

LAHRA is mentioned in the April 2010 issue of HR Magazine.  Find us on page 33 of this recent issue.
