Welcome to the Wiregrass Human Resource Management Association (WHRMA) Chapter
WHRMA is dedicated to fostering growth and sharing resources within the HR industry. Our mission is to provide a platform for professionals to connect, learn, and enhance their skills through various initiatives.


The Wiregrass Human Resource Management Association (WHRMA) members meet every other month to engage in, and discuss interesting and timely topics relevant to the human resource profession. These meetings are normally held on the second Wednesday of every other month either as a breakfast meeting at 8:00 am or a lunch meeting at 11:30 am and may feature a guest speaker, a panel discussion, or a legal round-table group. Most meetings are pre-approved for at least one hour of SHRM and HRCI continuing education. For a morning meeting, the buffet breakfast starts at 8:00 am, with a speaker starting at 8:30 am. For an afternoon meeting, the buffet lunch starts at 11:30 am with the speaker starting at 12:00.
Each meeting notice will list the location and cost. Be sure to RSVP each month. Members should watch for email reminders of the meetings about one week prior to the meeting. Reservations are made by emailing aphillips@prdothan.com at least three business days prior to the event. Current cost is $20 for members and $25 for guests.
