EPSHRM Chapter Leadership
EPSHRM, an "El Paso STAR," strives to meet the needs of the El Paso Human Resources community through Service, Teamwork, Achievement, and Return on Investment. Focusing on the needs of our membership, the Executive Board strives to bring timely programs and information that adds value to our members' professional lives and profession.
New members to the Executive Board ordinarily begin at the Secretary level, progressing each calendar year through each position, providing consistency and stability. New Board members add value by bringing fresh ideas and points of view. For those members interested in participating on the Board but are not interested in progressing may want to consider a Director position. These positions include Governmental Affairs, Diversity, Workforce Readiness, SHRM Foundation, College Relations, Website, and Certification.
If you are interested in serving on the Executive Board, either as an Officer or Director, please contact the President, President-Elect, or Immediate Past President for more information.
