A Message from the NOHRA Board of Directors:
Dear Mentor & Mentee Participants,
We are excited to announce the launch of our HR Mentorship Program, a significant initiative aimed at fostering professional development and growth within our Human Resources community.
The Northwest Ohio Human Resource Association (NOHRA) recognizes the importance of investing in the development of the next generation of HR professionals and this program represents our commitment to supporting their growth and empowering them to reach their full potential.
Through this program, mentees will have the opportunity to benefit from the experience, wisdom, and guidance of seasoned HR mentors. Mentors will provide invaluable insights, advice, and support to help mentees navigate the challenges and opportunities within the HR profession.
This program is not only about individual growth but also about fostering a culture of community and collaboration, learning, and support amongst aspiring HR professionals. By connecting experienced mentors with aspiring professionals, we aim to create a supportive environment where knowledge is shared, ideas are exchanged, and relationships are forged.
We are confident that this HR Mentorship Program will be a tremendous success and will play a vital role in shaping the future of HR and the continued success of NOHRA.
Thank you for your enthusiasm and support for this initiative. Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
Best regards,
