Meeting Locations

The Valley of the Sun Human Resource Association provides a wide variety of opportunities to attend human resource events throughout the metropolitan Phoenix area.  Our organization is currently comprised of four areas:

The Central Valley Meeting Venue - Phoenix Country Club
The East Valley Meeting Venue - Fiesta Inn
The North Valley Meeting Venue - Hilton Scottsdale
The West Valley Meeting Venue - Arrowhead Country Club

Membership in VSHRA provides you the opportunity to attend any combination of these three area events.  You can mix and match which programs you wish to attend up to your ten membership events each year.  While we support participation in your primary preferred area, we encourage you to enjoy the various venues and programs offered by all our areas. 

All areas of VSHRA gather together four times per year: March- Legislative at the Capitol; August - State Conference; October - Author's Day and December - Holiday (Networking).
