The Human Resources Leadership Forum (HRLF) is the organization
for senior-level HR professionals in New England who want to
learn and broaden their strategic and practical knowledge. Half-day
programs focus in-depth on strategic and leading-edge HR issues

membership organization.
2. Who are HRLF's members?
HRLF's 350-plus members are advanced practitioners representing
multiple public and private corporations, academia, and consultancies.

to provide relevant perspectives on the program and applications
of the topic.
3. What does HRLF offer its members?
HRLF provides high value
to its members with an emphasis on thought-provoking programs
and speakers and a unique opportunity for members to network with
advanced HR practitioners from throughout New England . Annual
dues of just $600 enable members to attend all meetings and give
them access to nationally-recognized speakers, a members-only
online membership directory, and on-going communication from the
Board.
HRLF enables members to build a community of senior HR leaders
through multiple networking opportunities and small-group discussion
meetings. Members-only committees provide another way for people
to get to know each other as do ad hoc support programs put in
place during unusual circumstances such as periods of high unemployment.
4. Is HRLF part of a national organization?
HRLF is
an affiliate member of the Human Resources Planning Society (HRPS),
which gives HRLF members several additional benefits, including

access to online research reports about HR best practices and
trends, free admission to programs sponsored by other HRPS affiliates
across North America, and access to speaker presentations and
other information from all HRPS affiliates.
5. How do I get involved in HRLF?

interest, and he or she will tell you when the next meeting is
to be held.

of that calendar year. For those who join after June 1st, dues

in HR, to advance their professional development, and interact
with people facing the same issues and concerns.
The seniority of members is unique to HRLF. While other HR organizations
might focus on specific industries, more tactical program topics,
or entry-level and mid-level training needs of HR people, HRLF
is dedicated to meeting the advanced needs of senior HR leaders.
9. What are the criteria for joining?
HRLF members are advanced human resources professionals. From
