An Update from your Board of Directors – September 2025
As the governing voice of CPHR Alberta, the Board of Directors meet quarterly to provide oversight and guidance in several key areas. The Board, alongside CPHR Alberta operations, continues to deliver on the association's strategic priorities developed in the 2020 strategic plan.
To ensure transparency between our Board of Directors, members and key stakeholders, we are sharing post-meeting messages to inform the steps taken towards advancing our profession and ensuring a financially stable association.
The Board of Directors met on September 22, 2025, and the Board’s key messages are as follows:
2026 – 2028 Strategic Plan
The Board unanimously approved CPHR Alberta’s new 2026 – 2028 Strategic Plan, which includes a refreshed organizational vision and mission. This forward-looking plan focuses on:
- Enhancing member value
- Promoting self-regulation
- Elevating the visibility of the CPHR designation
- Fostering a future-ready HR community
Implementation begins immediately, with further details to be shared in the coming months.
Stay tuned, our new Strategic Plan will be released this fall via email!
