Management Association (MACsun) was previously known as PIHRA/MA. Currently, CSUN does not offer Human Resource Management degrees therefore, PIHRA/MA changed its name to MACsun. With that change we opened membership and leadership of the association to not only to Management majors but to all business majors. Although our name changed to MACsun we are still affiliated with PIHRA/MA.
Professionals In Human Resources Association was founded as the Personnel and Industrial Relations Association in 1944 by a small group of Los Angeles personnel executives. They organized to provide a forum in which Human Resource professionals could exchange ideas, increase their knowledge of and work together for the betterment of the profession.
In 1959, PIHRA became affiliated with the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM), then known as the American Society of Personnel Administration (ASPA). Today, PIHRA is the largest SHRM chapter in the country, consistently achieving SHRM's Annual Superior Merit Award.
