CPHR Nova Scotia volunteers are a hard-working community of professionals who generously donate their time, energy, and creativity enabling us to serve the Human Resources community in Nova Scotia. We have both short-term and ongoing volunteer roles. Each year, volunteers donate their time to participate on our committees, share expertise in our professional development program, assist with event logistics and much more. 

There are many benefits to volunteering, including:

• Professional and personal growth and development
• Networking with other HR professionals
• Connecting with other members
• Expanding your professional network
• Sharing your HR insights with others
• Making a positive impact within the HR community
• Earning CPHR Continuing Professional Development (CPD) hours
