Message from Our President

This is a great time to be a member of the Philadelphia Human Resource Planning Society! We are changing to make our organization an even better experience for the region's senior human resource professionals.

Membership, sponsorship, programs.

This is our mantra. Here's how we're enhancing our offerings to you.

Membership. We're growing our membership so we can expand our community of senior HR professionals that enrich our professional networks and build on our base of good ideas.

Sponsorship. We're creating reciprocal value -- for our sponsors and for you. We rely on sponsor's financial support to provide you with valuable member benefits.

Programs. Effective sponsorship and member dues means we can offer top quality programs to draw the kind of senior level HR professionals and expertise our members expect.

The result is access to the best community of professionals the Philadelphia region has to offer. Here are just a few of the specific initiatives we are undertaking:

• Introducing our first “community of interest” group–Executive Coaching. This is an exciting new initiative you'll be hearing more about soon. And other professional communities will be forming in the near future.
• Redefining the mission of our community outreach committee. Under its new name, Community Connections, it will continue to sponsor and expand the successful Interview Skills and Mentoring programs. We will develop new connections and enhance our existing connections with area educational institutions, focusing on supporting high potential graduate students who are pursuing HR-related degrees.
• Offering more professional networking time. We will be designating 1-2 meetings a year to purely networking.
• Enhancing the education opportunities we offer to attract a broader cross-section of members.
• Creating a speaker and expert bureau comprised of PHRPS members for the use of members only.
• Ongoing improvements to our website.

These difficult economic times make it ever more important to maintain strong connections with our professional communities. That is one of the reasons I believe this is a great time to be a member of PHRPS.

I invite you to spend a few minutes visiting the various sections of our website and see the exciting things we're doing. If you haven't already done so, please contact any of our committee chairs for more information on what they do and how to get more involved. And please contact myself and our Board members with any questions.

I look forward to seeing you at an upcoming meeting!

Regards,
Chet Zoltak
President
