An update from your Board of Directors – July 2024

As the governing voice of CPHR Alberta, the Board of Directors meets 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 will be sharing a post-meeting message to inform stakeholders on the steps taken towards advancing our profession and ensuring a financially stable association.  

The Board of Directors met on June 7, 2024, and the Board’s key messages for our members and key stakeholders are as follows: 

 

Excellence Through Sound Governance 

 

The Board of Directors is happy to share that CPHR Alberta is in a good financial position for the first quarter of 2024. The association is taking opportunities to increase value for members by promoting the profession in the business and student community, plus enhancing professional development for members. 

 

The Board of Directors would like to encourage members to utilize the Career Center as part of their member benefits. The Career Center offers employers the opportunity to post jobs (with member pricing) for the HR community to access, while job seekers can utilize the Job Board to find future work opportunities. 

 

Self Regulation 

 

In support of our continued pursuit of Self-Regulation, the Board of Directors continues to raise awareness with government officials/bureaucrats and business leaders on the value of the CPHR designation and the importance of our profession. The majority of the Board of Directors attended CPHR Alberta’s first-ever Stampede Breakfast, held in Calgary on July 10, 2024, where they interacted with the membership, partners and government officials in attendance.   

 

The next board meeting takes place in September 2024  , after which we will again share our key messages. If you have any questions regarding these key messages or the Board of Directors, please contact chair@cphrab.ca. We welcome your feedback!
