Diversity & Inclusion

The Diversity & Inclusion Committee is responsible for monitoring and evaluating local activities concerning diversity issues. The committee will lead the efforts towards increasing diversity in the chapter's membership and to publicize successful diversity programs in the local community. In addition, the committee will continually develop and/or distribute information and materials to chapter members to promote diversity in the workplace. This committee is also responsible for planning ROI every other year.

Education

The Education Committee is responsible for planning and coordinating Learning Labs for TAHRA. Learning Labs offer educational opportunities to TAHRA members (and guests) by providing current, relevant, interesting "and even entertaining" information relative to the ever-changing world of Human Resources. The Committee meets once or twice per year to decide on the topics (based on member input & suggestions). Committee members secure the speakers and facilitate the Labs.
