Blackhawk Human Resource Association

Your next professional connection could start at BHRA.

At the Blackhawk Human Resources Association, we believe some of the best career growth happens through conversations, shared experiences, and community connections.

From networking events and educational sessions to local partnerships and leadership opportunities, BHRA brings together HR professionals from across the Rock County area to support one another and continue growing together.

Come be part of a professional community that invests in learning, collaboration, and connection.

We’re also currently welcoming interest in open board positions for:
Treasurer
Secretary
Membership Director
President Elect

As graduation approaches, many college seniors are beginning the transition into their professional careers. Staying connected to a strong professional community can make a meaningful difference during this time.

Local SHRM chapters, like the Blackhawk Human Resources Association (BHRA), provide opportunities to build connections, gain real-world insights, and continue developing beyond the classroom. It’s a great way to stay engaged, keep learning, and navigate those early career steps with support.

A huge thank you to the UWW SHRM chapter for hosting such a fantastic networking event a few weeks ago!

Our BHRA members had an absolute blast connecting with your students. The energy in the room was incredible—attendees came prepared with thoughtful questions, stayed fully engaged, and brought such a positive, upbeat vibe throughout the entire event.

It’s clear there is a bright future ahead for these emerging HR professionals, and we’re so grateful to have been a part of it. We would absolutely do this again and truly appreciate the opportunity to partner together.

Thank you again for such a wonderful collaboration—we’re already looking forward to the next one!

Wishing you a joyful and peaceful holiday season from all of us at BHRA. We’re grateful for each of you and hope you enjoy time celebrating with those you love.

We’re excited to introduce our new BHRA President, Kyle!

Kyle joins us after completing his first year as an HR Business Partner with Blain’s Farm & Fleet. Though relatively new to the HR field, he brings over a decade of management experience across retail and hospitality. He earned his degree in HR and Leadership from Central Michigan University in 2019, where he was deeply involved in volunteer leadership and even helped establish a new chapter of a leadership fraternity on campus.

We are thrilled to have Kyle on board and look forward to another great year ahead for the BHRA!

Wishing you a wonderful holiday filled with gratitude, warmth, and time with the people who matter most. We’re thankful for each of our members!

We’re excited to announce that our BHRA Member Appreciation Event will be held on Thursday, December 11, 2025! This special evening is dedicated to celebrating you—our incredible members who make our HR community so strong.

Stay tuned for more details and some exciting event announcements coming soon. You won’t want to miss what we have planned!
