ABOUT PIHRA
MISSION STATEMENT
Professionals In Human Resources Association (PIHRA) is a professional association dedicated
to the continuous enhancement of Human Resources through Networking, Learning and
Advocacy. As a California nonprofit professional association PIHRA, a 501(c)(6) Trade
Association, serves all levels of human resource practitioners and providers.
PIHRA is the largest global affiliate chapter of the Society for Human Resources Management
(SHRM) with over 3,500 individual members representing more than 2,500 organizations in
Southern California. PIHRA is governed by a volunteer board of directors and retains a
professional staff to provide expertise on association management practices and continuity.
HISTORY
In 1945, The Personnel and Industrial Relations Association (PIRA) was founded by a small
group of Los Angeles personnel executives to provide a forum in which Human Resource
professionals could exchange ideas, increase their knowledge of and work together for the
betterment of the profession.
In 1948, The American Society for Personnel Administration (ASPA), was founded in Illinois by
a group of 28 individuals anticipating the need for a national organization to represent the
personnel profession. Their stated goal was to provide continued professional development
opportunities, promote national networking and generally advance the interests of a profession
they recognized as being in transition.
In 1959, The Personnel and Industrial Relations Association (PIRA) formally affiliated with The
American Society for Personnel Administration (ASPA), when it was officially chartered by the
national society as Chapter Number 30.
In 1989, the national organization's name was changed from the American Society for
Personnel Administration (ASPA) to the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) to
reflect its broadened scope and influence in the business and political worlds internationally.
In 1991, The Personnel and Industrial Relations Association (PIRA) changed its name to
P.I.R.A. – The Association of Human Resource Professionals.
In 1994, P.I.R.A. – The Association of Human Resource Professionals again changed its name,
this time to Professionals in Human Resources Association (PIHRA) and comprised the
counties of Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino. PIHRA remains a
non-profit California corporation with a volunteer Board of Directors who serve without
compensation. From these beginnings, SHRM has evolved into the world’s largest association
devoted to human resource management and PIHRA the largest SHRM chapter among the
more than 600 affiliated chapters within the United States—thus the largest chapter in the world
and, no doubt, the solar system! You can find more on these histories online at

DISTRICT DISTRIBUTION/GEOGRAPHY
PIHRA currently has 16 Districts which exist to support networking, learning and advocacy for
District members through local programs and activities aligned with the Association’s goals, The
Chairs of Districts are elected annually and serve as voting members of the PIHRA Board of
Directors. One additional member of each District is elected annually to provide District
representation and voting should the Chair be unable to participate. Districts also select local
leadership for the administration of District activities.
For most members, personal contact with PIHRA is through a District. The District provides
opportunities for regional networking, learning and advocacy, for dissemination and
reinforcement of information emanating from the PIHRA Board and for facilitating succession
planning by developing future PIHRA leaders. District leadership is a critical link in PIHRA’s
continuity planning.
While Districts are nearly autonomous in structuring activities to meet the unique needs of their
local membership, Districts ARE NOT separate legal entities, but operate under the auspices of
the central Association. Districts are bound by the bylaws, policies and directives of the PIHRA
Board of Directors — the governing authority of the Association.
