A
Little History - More Than a Half of a Century's Worth
The
Association was founded in 1942 as the Richmond Personnel Association
and in 1996 changed its name to the Eastern Indiana Human Resource
Association. In 1993, the Association became a member of the
Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), the largest national
organization dedicated to the support and development of human resource
practitioners.
Through
more than fifty years, the goal of the Association and its members
has been to provide a means for the interchange of ideas, experiences,
and methods concerning the effective practice of human resources
management. Furthermore, the Association is dedicated to the application
of "right thinking" and progressive methods in the practice
of human resource management.
