Before we say good-bye to 2015, I wanted to take a moment to say "Thank You" to everyone who helped make this one of the best years in recent history for NEHRA.

January started strong with renewed optimism, fueled by a healthier economic outlook. The job market picked up and members of the community invested more time in their own professional development. This lead to record attendance for many of our core programs and webinars, as well as the Annual Fall Conference, where nearly 500 people convened on the Cape for three days.

In May, we celebrated 20 years of diversity & inclusion in the workplace, with the help of world champion tennis pro Billie Jean King. With the support of our sponsors we awarded $10,000 in college scholarships to two well-deserving high school students who have shown great leadership in their schools and/or communities.

None of this would be possible without the support of over 50 partners and sponsors who provide both financial support and essential resources, along with nearly 40 dedicated volunteers who help develop and teach programs, plan and help manage our conference or offer thought leadership and guidance on our board.

We are deeply grateful for the 2,000 members who continue to make NEHRA the place they turn to for professional development and networking. We are looking forward to an even better 2016, with our April 28th D&I Awards Gala featuring Noah Galloway, and another sensational 2016 Fall Conference on the Cape, planned for September 28-30th.

I hope you and your families have a wonderful ,safe and relaxing holiday. 

Here is to a happy and healthy 2016!!
