"I expected to simply be fulfilled from being a part of something and giving of my time, but what I didn't expect was how much more deeply connected I felt with CPHR AB, it's members, and its events! I think I have been personally motivated to get much more involved with events than I would have otherwise - simply from exposure!  I have also met some truly wonderful people (co-committee members) and have had unique opportunities to share my ideas with CPHR AB's program development team.  It's been a really holistic experience!"

– Editorial Committee Member
