Dear HR Colleagues, 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.
