Welcome to the Northwest Connecticut Human Resources Association

Happy New Year!

We’re thrilled to welcome both new and returning members to our chapter for 2025! This year promises to be an exciting one, with six networking events and 16 seminars designed to help you earn valuable SHRM and HRCI credits—all for less than $100 per year.

Mark your calendar!
Join us on January 9th at the Yard Goat Stadium in Hartford for Disrupt HR. Both Nancy Latour (our past president) and I will be speaking at this dynamic event. We’d love to see you there!

Looking back, we had a fantastic time at our Holiday Party in December at Hawk Ridge Winery in Watertown. It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with our members and sponsors. A huge thank-you to Elizabeth Dolan and Betsy Osowieki for their incredible effort in making the event a success!

Finally, our chapter thrives because of our amazing volunteers. If you’re interested in contributing as little as one hour per week, we’d love to hear from you! Please reach out to Michelle at president.nwcthra@gmail.com.

Here’s to another great year together!

 

Warm regards,
Michelle Ferrari
