National PELRA Welcomes New Michigan Chapter to Its National Network
Vernon Hills, IL – The National Public Employer Labor Relations Association (National PELRA) welcomed the Great Lakes Public Employer Labor Relations Association (Great Lakes PELRA) as its newest affiliate chapter. With this addition, National PELRA strengthens its growing network of state chapters dedicated to empowering public-sector labor relations and HR professionals across the country.
Great Lakes PELRA was established by a group of experienced Michigan practitioners who recognized the value of local collaboration paired with the vast professional development opportunities, national advocacy, and educational resources provided through National PELRA. As the 24th affiliate chapter, Great Lakes PELRA members now benefit from both a strong Michigan-based network and access to the broader national community of peers and thought leaders.
“This is an exciting new chapter for Michigan’s public-sector HR and labor relations professionals,” said Jordie Kramer, Great Lakes PELRA Founder and Board President. “[Great Lakes] PELRA is designed to offer the best of both worlds – state-focused connections and the depth of tools, training, and support that come from being part of a nationwide network. We look forward to building a vibrant, collaborative community.”
With the addition of Great Lakes PELRA, National PELRA continues its commitment to expanding access to high-quality, relevant resources and training for all public-sector HR and labor relations professionals.
