Which district is closest to you?

You can learn a lot about an organization from how it handles goodbyes.

The resignation that changed team dynamics.

The reorganization employees are still processing.

The leadership transition everyone is watching.

These moments shape employee experience, culture, organizational trust, and how people experience change at work.

As organizations continue navigating workforce movement, restructures, changing expectations, and uncertainty, this conversation matters.

Join us for PHRMA’s next HR in 90 session:

The Art of Saying Goodbye: Why Offboarding Is a Workforce Strategy, Not an Afterthought

Together, we’ll explore how organizations can approach departures more intentionally — and how thoughtful offboarding can support culture, reinforce values, and strengthen organizations through change.

And because some of the most valuable HR learning happens through real conversation, you’ll connect with HR professionals from organizations across Portland navigating many of the same realities.

Hear how others are approaching difficult departures, employee experience, and transition conversations in their own organizations.

Step away from your inbox for 90 minutes for lunch, conversation, fresh perspective, and a discussion worth being in the room for.

If this challenge touches your work — or conversations you know are coming — we hope you’ll join us.

HR work moves fast. Having people to learn from, compare notes with, and solve challenges alongside matters.

This June, PHRMA is bringing together opportunities to learn, connect, and continue growing through programs designed for the real work HR professionals are navigating every day.

📚 LEARN — Practical ideas you can bring back to work
Explore timely workplace topics including:
• Offboarding as a workforce strategy, not an afterthought
• What happens when policies and workplace culture don’t align

🤝 CONNECT — Real conversations with people who understand your role, industry, or career stage
Join opportunities designed for:
• Executive, Mid-Level, and Emerging HR professionals
• Government, Healthcare Recruiters, and HR Departments of One
• Community connection through our District Networks Coffee Meet-Up

Alongside this month’s programs, our June calendar also highlights LGBTQ+ Pride Month and important observances including World Environment Day, Flag Day, Father’s Day, and the Summer Solstice — recognizing the experiences, communities, and moments that shape both our workplaces and our lives.

To support continued learning and awareness, we also maintain a resource page featuring articles, books, organizations, and other resources that uplift, educate, and support these movements and observances.

Sponsor Spotlight: Revive Health

Crafted for Forward-Thinking Employers

Supporting employees starts with creating benefits people actually want to use, which is why we’re proud to spotlight Revive Health as a sponsor of the 2026 Strategic Management Conference.

Revive Health is reimagining healthcare benefits through an integrated care model that combines primary care, mental health, pharmacy, urgent care, and everyday support into one connected experience. Their people-centered approach helps employers create more accessible, coordinated, and meaningful healthcare experiences for employees.

We’re grateful for their partnership and support as we bring HR professionals together for meaningful conversations, fresh perspectives, and practical ideas shaping the future of work.
