Welcome to the Minnesota Chapter of IPMA-HR!
The Minnesota chapter is an affiliate of the International Public Management Association for Human Resources (IPMA-HR), a nonprofit and educational organization, committed to the advancement of the public sector by providing HR professionals with key educational and training opportunities, valuable resources and assessment products, and effective advocacy at every level of government.
Our volunteer-run chapter strives to ensure that your membership provides you with access to developmental opportunities to learn and collaborate with others about current and future issues critical to HR. We welcome human resources professionals at all levels and organize opportunities that address the unique challenges of HR in the public sector.
During the global pandemic, we were able to offer many virtual learning opportunities. As we continue to navigate uncertain times and shift to an endemic, address inequities in our communities, and shift back to a hybrid workplace, our goal is to continue to offer valuable training events at a very affordable cost. On a regular basis, we will survey you to get feedback on topics that you have an interest in and feel are particularly relevant. Please feel free to reach out to any of the Board members or myself with ideas, suggestions or questions you may have.
Thank you for your continued support and participation in the Minnesota Chapter of IPMA-HR! If you are not a member, we welcome you into this network of HR professionals. The need to connect with our HR colleagues remains strong - stay well!
Sincerely,
Karin van Dyck
