Message from the President
Dear HR Colleagues,
What a whirlwind of a year so far. Although January can sometimes feel like it lasts 30 years, somehow, we are already in the middle of February. I have been back in the office just a couple of weeks following a short, but amazing trip to Savannah for ASHHRA’s first ever Benefits Symposium. It was so good to connect with subject matter experts from across the country and find out how they are all tackling very similar challenges.
