FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)

1.   Does the New Jersey Chapter only serve to the human resources needs of State government?  

No, we represent and serve all levels of government, including county, municipal, educational, as well as state agencies.  We find that public human resources topics are not specific to a particular form of government.  Therefore, we seek program-meeting topics that are pertinent to all government entities and public human resources professionals.  The Association is not limited to your personnel person. 

Public managers and elected officials who are responsible for human resource decisions are eligible for membership and are invited to join and/or attend the Association’s program workshops. 

2.    Does the Chapter meet or hold events outside the city of Trenton? 

The Association typically holds meetings in Trenton because it is centrally located and easily accessible from all parts of New Jersey.  However, the Executive Board does consider holding events in different locations that are suitable to the purpose at hand.  The Executive Board encourages members to recommend meeting locations for consideration. 

3.    How can I get involved in the chapter or serve on a committee?
