President's Message

Tina Fisher

Welcome to the HRMA of West Central Missouri! As your President, I'm honored to personally greet you. I've been in HR for over 20 years, starting as an HR Assistant focused on recruitment.  Joining SHRM and earning my SHRM certification truly propelled my career, ultimately bringing me to my current position as HR Director at Stephens College. Being part of our local chapter has been invaluable for networking and staying on top of the constant changes in the HR world.

We're proud to be an affiliate of SHRM (the Society for Human Resource Management), the world's largest HR professional society. With over 300,000 professionals in more than 165 countries, SHRM is a powerhouse, and our local chapter here in West Central Missouri is your direct link. We're dedicated to fostering networking, professional development, and robust support for all things Human Resources in our community.

Whether you're just starting your HR journey, you're a seasoned veteran, or you simply have an interest in the profession, we invite you to connect with us. Learn more about:

• Membership and how to join

• Attending events as a guest, member, or non-member

Our chapter is fortunate to have a team of experienced and capable HR professionals who volunteer on our board and in various chair roles. It's through our collective efforts that we ensure our chapter remains strong and continues to grow.

We genuinely encourage you to reach out for assistance in developing and advancing your HR career. We also invite you to lend your unique strengths and talents by volunteering on our board. Together, we can make this chapter the best it can be as we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of Human Resources.

We can't wait to see you at an upcoming meeting or event!
