Post Secondary Liaisons and Student Representatives
At BC HRMA, there are seven regions throughout the province which have an Advisory Council and a Post Secondary Liaison whose role is to develop relationships with each of the regions’ post secondary institutions with HR or business programs. Through these strong links our student membership flourishes and programs and services are developed or further enhanced to support our future HR professionals.
Student Representatives, who are members of BC HRMA, may be appointed to foster the relationships between the institution’s students, faculty, staff, and BC HRMA. These roles are typically posted on campus at the end of the school year to recruit for the next year. This provides an excellent opportunity for our student members to get involved with their professional association.
For more information about these volunteer opportunities contact the Member Relations Manager in your region.

Keeping Connected
BC HRMA strives to find ways to stay connected with our members and stakeholders. We recognize the increasing emergence and use of social networks as a way to not only communicate directly with members but to further enhance and encourage our member to member connections. Additionally, our new ResearchVoice function offers a myriad of ways to access the most up-to-date information, metrics service, and strategic HR news. What better way to stay informed of current trends, hot topics, and member discussions.
