New listings have been added to the Independent Consultant Directory and Industry Partner Directory. The Association receives regular inquiries for HR products and services from its members and the general public. As the Association is not in a position to make product or service recommendations, these directories were created and are located under the "Resources" tab on the website. 

Applications to participate in the Mentorship Program are now closed. 

In March 2019, new educational pathways were announced along with the requirement that 9 Foundational HR Courses will be required effective July 1, 2021, if a member does not have a degree with a major in Human Resources. The implementation date for the course requirement has changed to January 1, 2022.  This change allows a member without a degree majoring in Human Resources, four opportunities to write the National Knowledge Exam. Visit the website for exam dates and more information on the CPHR Certification Pathways.
