Senior Practitioners Forum

Concept
To offer a forum for sharing information and discussing advanced HRD issues for senior HRD professionals.

Mission Statement
The Senior Practitioners Forum is a community of senior HRD professionals who come together in the spirit of collaboration and continuous learning, in order to:

• Share resources, expertise and best practices.
• Encourage professional growth.
• Enable the best in one another.
• Identify and refer consulting opportunities.
• Support other, less experienced, professionals in their professional growth.

Membership
The Forum is open to all senior HRD practitioners with 10 or more years in the HRD field and currently employed at a managerial or director level HRD position within an organization or as a independent consultant.
Membership in RATO or the Eastern PA ASTD Chapter is required.

Next Meeting

We are on vacation for the summer. Check back for information about our next meeting in September.

• Represent our credentials, qualifications, experience and ability fairly and accurately to other forum members.
