Chamber of Commerce and the Muskingum Valley
Human Resource Management Association (MVHRMA)
recently announced they have joined forces in
what is expected to be a positive and mutually
beneficial partnership. As an affiliate
organization of the Chamber it is expected that
MVHRMA, also affiliated with the Society for
Human Resource Management (SHRM) will enjoy
increased awareness of the organization within
the community, as well as increased membership
and meeting attendance. It is also expected
that the new relationship will reduce costs and
provide availability to a wider resource of
speakers and programs for its membership. The
Chamber is confident that the affiliation with
MVHRMA will offer its members access to a
network of human resource professionals which is
particularly beneficial to small business
owners. For more information please contact
