Wendy Irwin - Manager, Advanced Power
I participate because I find the quality of topics to be pertinent and timely. This HR group is unique because it was developed around what we as HR professionals need – a way to connect, collaborate and share insights and resources with our peers.
The meetings are well planned, and are structured in a way that enhances engagement and participation of all the attendees. The smaller group setting allows for an open exchange of ideas amongst HR professionals, as opposed to listening to someone talk about a topic.
This has proven to be an impactful way to meaningfully connect with HR professionals in my local area and I look forward to participating in many more meetings in the future.
