2023 Board Chair, Year End Message
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to thank our membership for their support in 2023. Without your volunteer time, shared expertise, and feedback on CPHR Alberta events, research, and engagement, we would not be able to deliver on our strategic priorities. This past year our Directors have been working to connect with local government officials, post-secondary institutions, and business leaders to raise the profile of the HR profession and the CPHR designation. Thank you to all our board members for their advocacy work in 2023.
In November, we opened applications for our Board of Directors. We are looking for Directors who are willing to share their time, talent, and expertise, and be actively involved in shaping the future and long-term success of CPHR Alberta. I encourage any Chartered members who are interested to please apply before January 5. You can learn more about the application process and view the position profile here.
The HR profession is ever-changing, and our members do an incredible job of keeping pace and adapting. I hope all of you can take a break this holiday season to rest and recharge. Thank you for representing our profession, and happy holidays.
Lisa Watson, CPHR

I became a member of CPHR even before moving to Canada in July 2023. It was my way of getting a head start, learning how HR works here, connecting with professionals in the field, and preparing myself to step into the workforce with more confidence. Looking back, it was one of the best decisions I made!
Artificial intelligence (AI) has become part of the HR vocabulary. No longer a future ambition, many HR teams have been exploring why, how, and where AI could be used to unlock productivity, enhance capabilities, and deliver new value, as well as which technologies can deliver on this.
