Please note that all documentation must be on the institution’s official letterhead and include your name, program title and course details.

All of our meetings, development sessions and events are generally open to everyone who wishes to participate.  However non-members are charged a higher fee to attend. This is a good opportunity to network with a variety of human resource professionals working in the province. Check the events calendar on our website regularly to keep up to date on sessions and events being offered.

Your membership comes up for renewal every year on the 1^st of January.

Our membership year runs January 1 to December 31. Membership renewal begins with the issuance of a membership invoice in November. Membership payments are due by January 31 of the following year. Late fees may apply for members renewing after January 31. Payment can be completed online using a Mastercard or VISA credit card or by mailing a cheque or money order to the office address at PO Box 21454, St. John’s, NL, A1A 5G6. Your membership is considered renewed and your account in good standing when your invoice is paid.

Your membership is not transferable across provincial associations, and you will have to formally register with the association in the province to which your are moving.  Your CPHR certification status is transferable in many provinces.  Several provincial associations have a transfer policy generally similar to Newfoundland.  Please refer to our transfer policy for some guidelines on what you might expect to discuss with other associations.
