Many of us experience a different kind of flow during the summer months (busy, quiet, busy). I hope you take advantage of this time to catch up on a project that has been on the to-do list for a while.

Summer is also a great time to invest in yourself and learning. A fantastic calendar is planned for the remaining months of the year to assist in building your capability and knowledge as you guide your organizations through important events and situations. I encourage you to take a peek at the ASHHRA website for scheduled webinars, news and resources. Better yet: Spend some time on the ASHHRA Learning Portal, which provides engaging, on-demand learning content you can access at any time with any device. If you only have an extra hour, spend it learning with ASHHRA.

September will be here soon! Registration for the ASHHRA 55th Annual Conference & Exposition is still open. The entire schedule looks phenomenal and I know Chicago will not disappoint. I’m especially looking forward to the new Rapid Fire Sessions in the exhibit hall. These fast-paced education sessions will offer key information and takeaways in 20 minutes or less.

Thank you for your membership and contributions. You are an important part of the health care human resources community!

Warm regards,

Sarah Fredrickson, M.A., CHHR
ASHHRA President, 2019
