Last Thursday, our members gathered for our March chapter meeting featuring a Legal Update with Attorney, Mark Cameron. Mark provided timely insights on current legal developments impacting HR professionals and organizations today. Staying informed on employment law is critical for HR leaders, and we appreciate Mark sharing his expertise with our chapter!

We also heard an exciting announcement from our President, Mandi Ragsdale, about our upcoming rebrand to SHRM Northwest Arkansas. It’s an exciting time for our chapter as we continue evolving to support and connect HR professionals across our region.

A special thank you to our meeting sponsor, Transitions to Retirement, for supporting this event! If you are interested in being a sponsor, let us know!

📣 Program Update – November NOARK Meeting

With the holiday season in full swing and many HR professionals recently attending AR SHRM State Conference, we made the decision to reschedule our November NOARK Meeting on November 14th due to lower-than-usual registrations.

Our goal is always to host meaningful, high-value programs — and we want to ensure our members get the best experience possible. We’re excited to bring this speaker back in January, and trust us… it will be worth the wait!

We are also in process of scheduling our NOARK Holiday Lunch in December.

Thank you for your understanding, and for continuing to support the HR community here in Northwest Arkansas. We appreciate you and look forward to seeing you soon! 💙
