Winter Term Membership Drive
Message from VP of Recruiting

Again I would like to extend a warm welcome to all our new HRMA members!

With winter term kicking off, I need your help spreading the word about our student organization. I encourage all members to reach out to their classmates the first month of winter term -- don't forget, the Fall Membership Special has been extended through the end of January. If you are looking to increase your involvement with HRMA, this is a great opportunity since it only takes five minutes of your time.

If interested, contact me at lindamarie.miller@gmail.com
I can provide you with fliers and a talking points cheat sheet prior to you making any in-class announcements.

Fall term was a real success as we welcomed close to 40 new members. Let's continue this momentum in the new year.

At the meeting we also said goodbye to Patti Lusk, SPHR and welcomed Christina York, SPHR. We are lucky to work with both of these professionals through their role as the PHRMA College Relations Director.
