"When I first assumed the job of Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources in PVSchools fifteen years ago, I knew a fair amount about school systems but precious little about the laws, regulations, and best practices of Human Resources in public education. The Arizona Association of School Personnel Administrators (AASPA) became a life line for me as it has for countless others over the years. I quickly learned that the people in AASPA are genuinely willing to help with time and resources. If you are in HR and you haven't joined, you need to sign up now and become an active member so that both you and the organization will grow. You won't regret it."

"Moving from the classroom to Human Resources was exciting and terrifying at the same time. It was ASPAA that provided the professional development, resource network, and relationships that have enabled me to grow into my position and to fulfill my professional duties as a Director of Human Resources, with all of its rights and responsibilities. I owe my success to my association, ASPAA."

"There are so many reasons to attend the ASPAA Conferences. Great keynote speakers, informative educational sessions on cutting edge HR topics by leaders in the state and awesome vendor selections. It is pretty much a guarantee that one comes away with new data that is immediately applicable. I especially like the networking opportunities with HR professionals I have known for a number of years and meeting new peers in the profession.
ASPAA conferences excel in providing districts and its members pertinent information with the never ending mandates with leaders in the state."

"I find my ASPAA membership to be just as useful and as effective as my membership with the Society of Human Resources Management (SHRM). When I first transitioned from corporate human resources to school human resources fifteen (15) years ago; ASPAA members were very instrumental in me helping transition, transform and transcend as a HR professional."
