New to PHRMA? You're Not Alone. 46 HR professionals chose to join the PHRMA community this spring. 🎉

If you're one of them, we hope you'll join us at our upcoming New Member Social.

This event is designed to help you build connections, learn more about your membership, and discover that you don't have to do HR alone. Whether you've already attended an event or are still figuring out where to start, you'll find a welcoming space filled with HR professionals who understand the work you do.

The photos below are from our New Member Social in January, and we'd love to see you in the next set of memories.

The best professional communities aren't built overnight.

They grow one conversation at a time.

PHRMA's Industry Networks bring together HR professionals with shared experiences and work environments to connect, exchange ideas, and support one another through the challenges and opportunities of HR.

Choose the network that's right for you:

👤 HR Dept. of One Industry Network
You May Be Solo—But You're Not Alone
📅 June 25 | 5:00–6:30 PM

🏛️ Government Industry Network
HR Connection for the Public Sector
📅 June 25 | 5:00–6:30 PM

🏥 Healthcare Recruiters Industry Network (Virtual)
Connecting Those Who Build the Healthcare Workforce
💻 Zoom | 📅 June 25 | 12:00–1:00 PM

These aren't large networking events. They're smaller gatherings where everyone has the opportunity to contribute, ask questions, and build connections that last beyond a single event.

Whether you're attending for the first time or returning to continue the conversation, we'd love to have you join us.

You update the policy. Reinforce the values. Launch the initiative.

But somewhere between intention and implementation, the employee experience tells a different story.

Maybe policies aren’t being applied consistently. Maybe culture efforts struggle to stick. Maybe hiring, communication, belonging, or everyday workplace realities don’t fully align with what the organization says it values.

Sound familiar?

Join us for When Your Policies Say One Thing and Your Culture Does Another — a practical HR Specialty Session designed for professionals who want to go deeper than good intentions and explore what it really takes to align policy, practice, and culture.

Featuring Alexis Braly James, Founder & CEO of Construct the Present, who helps organizations build workplace culture and training systems that actually hold.

You’ll walk away with:

✔ Practical ways to identify where disconnects may exist in your organization
✔ A framework for diagnosing root causes, not just reacting to symptoms
✔ Ideas for creating stronger alignment across the employee experience

📅 June 24, 2026
🕛 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM
