WHO WE ARE

The Upstate Total Rewards Association (UTRA) was founded in 2008 to provide WNY companies and HR professionals with an organization focused upon compensation, benefits and work-life issues. As a member of WorldatWork’s Local Network, we have access to resources and professional development opportunities offered by a premier global human resources association.  However, as a regional association we assist members in addressing local issues.
