President's Message Hello, Columbia Basin Chapter of SHRM (CBSHRM) Community! I am honored to have been selected as CBSHRM’s President for 2025, and proud to be associated with such a group of dedicated and hard-working professionals. This SHRM Chapter along with other SHRM affiliates have been valuable partners in my career. I am thrilled to have this opportunity to give back to the community through supporting Human Resource (HR) professionals at all stages of their careers. CBSHRM is a professional education and networking association. We are an active community of engaged HR, business, administration, accounting, and project management professionals at all stages of careers and life! Our organization is a shared space of friends and colleagues who actively work together to promote better workplace environments. The success of our chapter has always been and continues to remain a direct result of people like you who donate their time and talents as our Board Members, Committee Chairs and Committee Members. Your/their dedication and loyalty continue to move our Chapter forward. Whether you are new to your field, a seasoned professional or have HR responsibilities in your role at work, we are your local HR connection! If you want to give back to your community, develop yourself as a leader, and create key contacts in the HR profession, I encourage you to become involved with CBSHRM and take advantage of opportunities to make a positive impact in our community as well as grow your career!
We encourage you to give yourself breaks from your day-to-day practitioner life and join us at our monthly meetings, which will expose you to new ways to enhance your knowledge, your career and your organizations! We continue to hold Chapter Meetings both in-person and virtually, the third Wednesday of each month at 12:00 p.m. PST. Plus, we provide all-day in-person conferences in both the Spring and the Fall plus host our annual member appreciation event. As a pre-approved provider with both SHRM and HRCI, we are pleased we can help you obtain recertification credits for those of you holding those credentials. Check out our Events page for the most current and up-to-date information on exciting speakers and topics! You can also find us on Facebook and LinkedIn to keep up with our events, your peers, and all things HR! Sincerely, Roshelle Pavlin, SHRM-SCP & SPHR CBSHRM President |
