our Annual Conference programming.
The cover story is all about connection,
highlighting what HRPA has accomplished
in the past few months in terms
of our groundbreaking work with the
International Standards Organization
(ISO) toward creating an internationally
recognized competency framework
for the human resources profession.
You can also read more about some
brand new offerings for the 2017 Annual
Conference, including our first-ever
AC Games. Using the mobile conference
app, attendees can participate in
the #ACGames contest by accumulating
points throughout the registration
and event period for the chance to win
great prizes.
As you’re reading through this issue of
HR Professional, attending sessions and
keynotes, networking with peers and
colleagues and browsing more than 250
exhibitors at the Trade Show, my hope
is that building connections becomes a
continuing theme in your conference experience.
There’s no better place to meet
such an outstanding group of industry
peers and thought leaders who are truly
advancing the profession across the
province, across the country and around
the world.
I wish you a wonderful conference
experience this year – and I hope to connect
with you! ■
