Dear AHRMA Members,

What a thrilling 2019 it has been for me as President of the Austin Human Resources Management Association. I cannot believe that it is actually the end of the year. I am so proud of the work that AHRMA has done during this year of pushing for progress.

Under the leadership of this year’s Board of Directors we have been growing our organization and its reach which also means growing our profession. We have continued our history of programming that works, changed how our membership joins and stays a part of our organization and most importantly embarked upon an inaugural journey to create a more exciting relationship with our national home organization SHRM that mirrors how we create better workplaces to create a better world.

By all standards it has been a successful year busting membership goals, soaring attendance at events, and a wonderfully inclusive conference that people are still talking about.  AHRMA looks and feels different and I am most proud of that for our organization.  But as we know so well, all good things must come to an end and with that last thought…

The Austin Human Resource Management Association (AHRMA) is excited to introduce our 2020 President, Lisa Blanton. Lisa Blanton possesses a diverse business background that includes over 30 years in corporate positions such as COO, CFO, and CHRO; including 13 years as a business owner.
