Committees are the engine of SMPHR — and the lowest-risk place to stretch a skill you can't practice at your day job. Take on real work, lead a real project, and bring it back to your employer.
Looking to develop, grow, or enhance your skills in collaboration, project management, or program management? Want to get more involved with SMPHR? A committee is the place to start.
Committees let you take on tasks and projects in a supportive, non-career-threatening environment — the kind of stretch assignments you can't always get at work. You add to your toolkit here, then take those skills back to your employer and demonstrate them with confidence.
Every member is welcome to serve. Find the committee that matches what you want to build — or simply where you want to give back.
Designs and delivers the chapter's programming — CHRO panels, skills sessions, candid roundtables, and the mentorship cohorts. If you want to shape what SMPHR members learn and how they grow, this is where it happens.
Owns the member experience end to end — recruitment, onboarding, retention, and the relationships that keep people coming back. The work that turns a roster into a real community.
Tells the SMPHR story across social, email, and the website. Builds the chapter's voice and visibility, and makes sure every event and program reaches the people it's meant for.
Builds the bridges — to St. Louis-area employers, civic partners, and corporate sponsors. Increases the visibility of multicultural HR leadership through real collaboration beyond the chapter.
Our connection inside St. Louis's leading employers. Corporate Liaisons champion SMPHR within their organizations — driving membership, surfacing opportunities, and bringing their company's people leaders into the chapter's work.
