PSHRA's Public Eye Podcast

Show Notes

Andrea Cutler is the head of AAC Consulting Services, the HR and risk management consultancy that she has run in the Las Vegas area since retiring after a 30-plus year career in public sector HR.

And, as of Jan. 1, 2025, Andrea is also the current President of PSHRA®’s Executive Council, playing a crucial role in helping lead the Association and fulfill its mission.

Public Eye sat down for a Q&A with Andrea in early January, to get her insight—as a consultant and as PSHRA® President—on what she sees around the corner for public sector HR in 2025, and what sort of goals she has for PSHRA® as an organization over the next 12 months.
