Greetings, ASHHRA Colleagues!

I can't wait for everyone to CONNECT, INNOVATE and TRANSFORM at the Virtual Conference, which will be held in less than two weeks. As an HR professional, this is my favorite time of year for charging my batteries. This year was a physically and mentally stressful time for many of our members. I ask that you come and unplug from your daily routine so that you can focus on learning and absorbing the message from our keynote speaker, Erin Brockovich.

You will also be able to engage with our service providers in the Solutions Center to learn more about their innovations in the face of the challenges that keep you up at night. And they're going to have gifts too! If you've not done it already, register today and join us at Aya Healthcare's Mixology and Game Night on Monday, April 26. It is a chance to connect with other participants and it promises to be an enjoyable time.

Encourage your colleagues and your network to attend if you have already registered for the conference for some incredible, yet cost-effective educational content and networking possibilities. I hope to see you at the conference virtually!

Carl McDonald, MSHRM, PHR, SHRM-CP
ASHHRA President, 2021
