Pashhra Membership:
PASHHRA is off to a great start in 2012 and we are excited to tell you a little bit about our upcoming year, and to invite you to renew your PASHHRA membership for 2012. PASHHRA is the Philadelphia area affiliate of the American Hospital Association’s professional group focused on Human Resources. We celebrated our 50th Anniversary in 2010 and, as we have throughout the years, our group continues to be actively involved in advocacy (on both the local and regional levels) and plays an important role in helping to pass legislation. We provide educational sessions and updates, keeping members informed of emerging trends in HR, pending legislative changes and other news important to their roles as HR Practitioners. We provide input on the regional salary survey, and have developed in conjunction with the Delaware Valley Healthcare Council, a focused reference form. Perhaps, most importantly, PASHHRA provides members the opportunity to network and to get to know others in the group, which always proves to be valuable to all members’ personal and professional development. Many members have enhanced and advanced their careers by getting to know senior HR managers from other institutions.
We recently made some exciting changes to our website (www.pashhra.org) and added a PASHHRA Group on LinkedIn. We share information on available job opportunities, legal trend updates, and pass along information from our National, Regional and Local leaders. If you haven’t had a chance to see our new website, we hope you will do so and we also invite you to join the PASHHRA group on LinkedIn.
This year, we will host and coordinate a Legal Update, a Compensation Update, and a couple of networking opportunities. Our Legal Update will be held on Wednesday, February 22nd from 8:30AM – 11:30 AM. It will be held at Jefferson University Hospital – Methodist, 2301 South Broad Street, Philadelphia in the Morgan Conference Center. We are excited that Ed Mazurek, Esq, an attorney with over 20 years of labor experience will talk to us about trends in the labor arena. In addition, we will have several panel speakers from our member health systems share their experiences with us as well. There is no cost to members for attending and we do hope you will join us. Please RSVP to colettebrown@melmark.org on or before February 10.
We hope that you will take advantage of our group memberships to grow your staff. If you have not been a member, please consider joining us. We are only as strong as our representation from area institutions. We look forward to your increased involvement and participation in 2012 at our planned events. We can only get to know each other if we take the time to join in networking opportunities. Thank you to all of our current members for their participation and support. We look forward to seeing all of you, and to welcoming many new members in 2012.
Sincerely,
Collette Brown
