The Kentucky Public Human Resources Association is an independent association devoted to professionalism and technical advancement in the management of human resources in the public sector. Membership is open to anyone who shares these interests. Current members include administrative staff and division directors affiliated with municipal and county governments, independent boards and commissions, area development districts, and agencies of state government, as well as instructors and students in public administration and related fields. These include two conferences a year, in the fall and spring, two newsletters a year, and a certification training program.
Locations are varied among different regions in the state, and urban locations and resort parks.
Conference activities include training sessions and workshops, as well as social and recreational activities. Experience points may be earned for partial responsibility for personnel functions which involve as little as ten percent of a certification candidate's work responsibilities.
