Volunteer with NCHRA –
a great way to connect to the North
Country area Human Resources community, grow your skills, and have a lot of fun
with others committed to supporting the professional growth of HR
practitioners. Volunteers on all committees must be current members of the NCHRA
chapter. You will be contacted by a member of our Board of Directors.

The Chapter’s legislative
advocate is the Chapter’s representative to state and federal legislative
events. The advocate is responsible for updating the Board and Chapter each
month on legislative issues and publishing to our members, and legal
information that meets our members’ needs.
For the North Country Human
Resources Association, this means sharing information from SHRM and
governmental bodies regarding how recently passed, modified, or proposed
legislation may impact the world of work for HR professionals in the North
Country. Additionally, the Government Affairs Volunteer Chair shares
information regarding major federal and state speeches, budgets, and committee
actions, breaks them down, and puts them in context.
In partnership with SHRM’s Advocacy Team (A-Team), the Government
Affairs Volunteer Chair also seeks to change the HR professional’s role in
government from reactionary to direct proactive engagement. SHRM’s A-Team sends
out information to regional Advocacy Captains regarding the SHRM’s policy
priorities for the year, as well as call to actions on legislation SHRM
advocates for or against. These voluntary call to action messages are shared
with NCHRA members to determine whether they wish to use SHRM’s prepared
messages in conveying SHRM’s stance to federal policymakers. They are also
provided with context as to why SHRM is in favor or against the legislation,
and how it impacts the world of work. SHRM/ A-Team’s motto: Policy, not
Politics.
