Connecting HR professionals with their most valuable resources - and each other!

The Northern California HR Association (NCHRA), one of the nation’s largest HR associations, has been advancing organizations through human resources since 1960. Delivering over 200 programs annually, the association is dedicated to connecting human resources professionals with practice resources, leading California-specific training, legal and legislative developments, quality service providers, and each other — forming career-long networks and partnerships.

Headquartered in San Francisco, NCHRA serves a community of more than 20,000 throughout its twelve regions in Northern California. The San Francisco Bay Area represents one of the most innovative and challenging sectors of the country (and world) in which to practice HR. As such, our membership demands a level of sophistication unparalleled by others. Nationally recognized for quality and breadth of service, this focus on excellence has earned us members in 23 states and several foreign countries.
