Members who volunteer to take on leadership and committee roles help the association keep a finger on the pulse of the most important opportunities and challenges for higher education HR professionals and the higher education workforce. Association leaders also have the opportunity to work with peers from across the country to lead and support the work of CUPA-HR’s strategic priorities and core values.
