Manchester Area Human Resources Association

Manchester Area Human Resources Association Inspiring leaders to elevate their organizations through people! MAHRA was affiliated with the Society for Human Resource Management in 1973.

The Manchester Area Human Resources Association was originally formed in 1954 by a small group of local professionals who were interested in sharing information and experiences about personnel issues. MAHRA currently maintains a membership of over 170 members representing a diverse range of professionals working in the interests of human resource management for private and public organizations of

all types and sizes, as well as education and various service firms that contribute to the needs and goals of the profession. To satisfy this professional diversity, and as a means of responding to the ever-changing demands of the field, the chapter serves its members by conducting monthly program meetings, seminars, professional accreditation opportunities, and social events. In addition, MAHRA provides information on legal and legislative matters and representation to state and national human resources associations.

If you know one of these incredible humans, you know they bring far more than time and energy to their volunteer roles with MAHRA—they bring heart, passion, and a deep commitment to making a difference in our greater community.

They serve on countless boards in our community, generously sharing their time, talents, and expertise in ways that feel truly limitless. Among them are four past MAHRA Presidents, NH HR State Council Board Members, community leaders, LGM alumni, LNH alumni (and Class of 2027), inspirational speakers, fierce advocates, and so much more.

We are profoundly grateful for their dedication—many of whom have served on the MAHRA Board of Directors for over 10 years. Thank you for your unwavering commitment and the incredible impact you continue to make in our greater community! We can't wait to see what you with all of your 'free' time!

We also extend a heartfelt appreciation to our outgoing President, Amy Mayo! We are so grateful for all of the work you've done in just a short two years laying the foundation for an even stronger MAHRA.

And this is just the beginning—we’re excited to introduce our new MAHRA Board Members virtually over the next few weeks.

Does this sound like the place for you? We’d love to have you join a committee and/or explore a role on our Board. Please reach out to [email protected] or [email protected] to learn more.
