president's message

It is with great pleasure that I begin my term as president. I look forward to working with our wonderful group of over 800 HR professionals and associates.

We are very fortunate to have such competent teams of dedicated professionals in all of our 5 chapters. We greatly value their time and help in developing the association through various activities and services to our members.

An exciting, challenging and ever-changing field, HR plays a critical function in public and private sector organizations. At the HRANB, our goal is to develop, support and equip HR professionals with the tools needed to meet these challenges.

Besides our existing resources, which include a nationally recognized CHRP designation, regular breakfast meetings, professional development sessions, a membership directory, as well as a national voice through the Canadian Council of Human Resources Association (CCHRA), we are continually working to provide even more services to our members.

To improve our association, we have added bilingual services, on-line tools, timely newsletters as well as many other new initiatives for our members to enjoy. Our goal is to work with you and for you in developing the HR profession.

Rachelle Gagnon, CHRP
