Welcome to KAHRMA HR!

Empowering People. Elevating the Profession.
The Kankakee Area Human Resource Management Association (KAHRMA) believes that people are at the heart of every organization’s success. Our nonprofit exists to champion the HR profession through education, collaboration, and advocacy. We invite you to learn more about our mission and become part of a network committed to advancing human potential in the workplace.

Together, we build stronger organizations and stronger communities.

Our mission is to have a Global Reach with a Local Presence.  We welcome anyone who is responsible for other employees.  We’re not focused on your title, but rather the meaning behind the work you do.  We specialize in helping small businesses that may not have an HR department or maybe you’re a department of one.  No matter what size your organization is we have something to offer you!

We’d love for you to join us during our next event.  How does a free registration for your 1st event sound to you? 

Hope to see you there!
