Membership Information

Connections with HR innovators. Invaluable informational resources. Eye-opening dialogues and debates. And they’re yours for the taking.

From its humble beginnings with 11 charter members, membership in HRPI has grown to more than 40 companies, representing some of the most prominent, highly-respected, and largest corporations in the United States and the world.

As a member of HRPI, you’ll get exclusive invitations to two semi-annual meetings, membership in a network of forward-thinking HR executives, and access to innovative research that matters. We also offer a series of webinars though out the year on cutting edge HR Topics.

Since its inception in 1981, HRPI has made significant strides in developing its membership meetings. These meetings bring together practitioners and researchers for two days each spring and fall to discuss leading-edge human resource matters and to network with fellow HR executives and scholars. Meetings are organized around an overarching topic in HR and feature leading experts from academia, consulting, and the corporate sectors relevant to this topic.
