About Washington State Healthcare Human Resources Association
The Washington State Healthcare Human Resource Association (WSHHRA)
is a state-wide membership organization made up of human resource
professionals that are working in health care institutions or organizations
related to health care. We have an affiliation with the national
association, the American Society for Healthcare Human Resources
Administration (ASHHRA).
Over the past 15 years, WSHHRA has grown to over 180 members. Membership
is voluntary and a nominal dues payment is required at the beginning
of the new year.
Two state conferences are held each year — in the spring
and fall. The conferences are designed by the Program Committee,
made up of volunteer members and chaired by the President Elect.
Our conferences strive to present a combination of diverse and relevant
topics, networking opportunities, and fun and social activities.
Conference attendance is approved for SPHR/PHR educational credits
through the Society of Human Resource Management. Conferences are
scheduled as 1 ½ day events starting on Thursday and ending
at noon on Friday. We hold an optional golf outing on the Wednesday
prior to the conference.
In addition to our outstanding conferences, members receive a membership
roster complete with phone numbers and e-mail addresses, providing
an invaluable list of professionals to network with and share information.
Contacting other members with specific questions has proven to be
one of the pluses of membership and a great asset for your HR toolbox.
Finally, our Association has a new web site (www.wshhra.org)
where you can always find the membership roster, archived newsletters,
conference agendas and registration, legislative updates, and so
much more. Since our web site’s sole purpose is to provide
information that is useful to our members, we encourage your feedback
and input.
