Get Involved

Members who volunteer to share their expertise, take on leadership roles, participate in committees and participate in our salary and benefits surveys are vital to helping the association achieve its mission. Our volunteer leaders not only help determine and support the strategic priorities and core values of the association, but also have a direct impact on the higher ed HR profession.

There Are Several Ways to Get Involved

• Higher Ed HR Magazine — share the important work you’re doing by submitting an article for publication in CUPA-HR's member magazine.
• National Board — Volunteering to serve on CUPA-HR’s national board is a powerful way to connect with colleagues from across the country while making an impact on the profession. Nominations for open positions for 2020-21 will open in December 2019.
• Committees — CUPA-HR has several volunteer committees and task forces. Committees are formed at the beginning of each fiscal year in July. If you are interested in serving on a committee, please complete an interest form.
