Join the JSAHR in Helping Lunch Break at Thanksgiving

At our November meeting, we are inviting all attendees to please bring canned and non-perishable goods to our meeting at Monmouth Park. Lunch Break is a non-profit organization that helps solve the hunger issues in Monmouth County.  Let’s help those less fortunate have a hot meal at Thanksgiving. Lunch Break of Red Bank is asking us to donate the following items:

Prepared gravy
Canned yams
Boxed mashed potatoes
Cake mix and prepared icing
Jello

If bringing canned goods, please try to bring flip-top cans that don’t need a can opener. Thanks so much and we appreciate your support.

 Announcing our NEW Certification Scholarship!

We are thrilled to announce that our Jersey Shore Chapter has been selected to receive the 2019 SHRM Foundation Certification Scholarship for chapters and state councils. The review process for this scholarship award is typically very competitive, and this year the judges were very impressed with our application.  The scholarship award for the recipient is $750.00 which can help our members get certified at a significantly reduced rate.

A HUGE congratulations and thanks to our Certification Committee Chairs – Carolyn Broderick, & Eveline Brownstein.
