Welcome to PSHRA Greater Kansas City Chapter

From the President

Welcome, friends and colleagues,

It is an honor to serve as President of PSHRA-GKC at a time when the work of public sector HR professionals has never been more important—or more inspiring.

At PSHRA-GKC, we believe that strong communities begin with strong people practices. Our mission is simple but powerful: to equip HR professionals in the public sector with the tools, training, and community they need to lead with excellence. Whether you’re a seasoned HR executive or just starting your journey, this chapter is your home for connection, growth, and meaningful impact.

As a nonprofit organization, we are deeply committed to developing future-ready HR leaders, elevating ethical and equitable workforce practices, and delivering training that meets the real challenges of government work today. Together, we’re navigating the complexities of labor relations, organizational change, and workforce development with integrity, courage, and innovation.

In the months ahead, we’re excited to offer a robust calendar of events, professional development opportunities, and networking gatherings. But more than that, we’re building a community of peers who uplift, support, and challenge one another to grow. That’s the heart of our work.

Thank you for being part of this mission. Let’s keep learning, leading, and serving—together.

With gratitude,

Kelly Postlewait
