Many municipal job positions have specific training and networking needs, and the Municipal Association of South Carolina’s affiliate associations offer opportunities to meet those needs.
The SC Municipal Human Resources Association promotes sound human resources administration and encourages innovative programs. MHRA provides training programs as well as an opportunity to exchange ideas among its members, both through meetings and through its very active listserve. The national Human Resources Certification Institute and the Society for Human Resources Management recognize MHRA’s training for continuing education credits.
The next meeting of MHRA will be its Spring Meeting taking place April 28 in Columbia. Topics will include the legal issues involved in harassment, building partnerships between HR and department heads, training employees for internal promotion and the Family Medical Leave Act.
