Leadership Roundtable Discussions (LRTs)
Leadership Roundtable Discussions (LRTs) are designed to bring experienced HR leaders together in a confidential, peer-driven environment to engage in meaningful conversations about today’s most pressing workplace challenges. These interactive sessions focus on sharing real-world experiences, exchanging ideas, and learning from one another in a way that is practical, strategic, and immediately applicable.
Each LRT is a two-hour, in-depth discussion experience. The first hour is a facilitated conversation centered on the specific topic. The second hour is intentionally flexible, allowing participants to raise additional questions, explore challenges they are currently facing, and benefit from the collective insight of the group.
LRTs are a members-only benefit and are currently free to attend. Participation is intentionally limited to support meaningful dialogue and ensure a high-value experience for everyone involved.
Who Can Participate in Leadership Rountable Discussions?
The LRTs are an opportunity for Sr. leaders of an organization’s HR responsibilities to openly discuss current HR issues, needs they have, and to learn from other local employers the practices they are using to have outstanding HR functions. To that end we are asking participants in the LRTs to:
Limit 2 participants per organization. For multi-division or enterprise organizations where HR responsibilities are decentralized, participation may include 1 representative per independently functioning HR unit.
Participants should be in Strategic HR decision making roles within the HR department of their organization, a rising-leader designated by the organization’s HR leader or have top level responsibility for HR in their organization (i.e. business owner with HR responsibility, Office Manager leading the HR function).
Participants must be members in good standing of the CK SHRM Chapter (Name change pending to Happy Valley HR Association) – this is a membership value-added benefit.
Participants must agree to confidentiality and refrain from sharing identifiable information of participants and their organizations outside of the LRT meetings.
Want to attend but not sure if you meet the criteria? Contact Tina Welch (tina.welch@wpchr.com.) for assistance. The intention is not to exclude HR professionals, but to limit the participation to a manageable size and where conversation can be strategic and impactful.
