Dear Members,

The new year is here and that means new opportunities.

As a long-standing member of TAHRA I’ve watched our organization grow from good to great. To continue this trend, last spring a Member Engagement Survey was conducted to gauge our members’ interest. I’m pleased to report that your voices were heard! We have a number of dynamic speakers scheduled, all pledging to provide you with timely information on the latest topics affecting our profession.

In the area of community service, throughout the calendar year you will have the opportunity to pay it forward to individuals within our community. This year TAHRA has partnered with several well-deserving service organizations. Through these efforts our members will have the opportunity to become more involved in our Association, and the community will benefit from our investments.

Finally, in an effort to personalize membership, you’ll note that TAHRA’s dues structure has changed for the growth and sustainability of our Association. This change was essential to continue providing quality programs and services to our members. I encourage you to renew early to receive all the benefits your membership provides.

It is my honor and pleasure to serve as your board president. I wish all of you a prosperous new year. Feel free to contact your board of directors with any questions you may have. We look forward to seeing you at an upcoming meeting or event.

Sincerely,

Patrice Kelly, SPHR
2012 TAHRA President
