As my time as ASHHRA President comes to a close, I’m reflecting on the incredible journeys we’ve taken this past year, celebrating the partnerships we’ve developed, and looking forward to the possibilities the upcoming year will bring.

 

This year has been one of growth, resilience and celebrating 60 years of ASHHRA! I am incredibly proud of all that we’ve accomplished, but it’s also important to reflect on the journey itself — the lessons learned, the moments of perseverance and the partnerships that have strengthened us along the way.

 

As we celebrate our successes, both as an organization and as individuals, I encourage all of us to take time to rest and recharge. The new year will bring new opportunities and challenges, and we must be ready to face them with renewed energy and clarity of purpose.

 

I’d like to express my deepest gratitude for the many connections made, the dedication and passion of the ASHHRA staff, board and volunteer leaders, and the continued support from our partners.

 

On behalf of the Board, thank you for your continued commitment to maintaining membership with ASHHRA. We look forward to our ongoing work together in 2025, and I am confident that we will build on this year’s success and accomplish even more in the future.

 

Wishing you a joyful and restful holiday season. Let us return in the new year with fresh perspectives and renewed strength to make an even greater impact for the organizations and people we serve and support.

 

Warm regards,
Tracy Clarke, MBA, PHR, SHRM-CP
