Knowledge Centers - HRO Today

Knowledge Centers are communities within the Association that bring together subsections of members based on their individual interests and focus, while complementing the Association’s activities. They offer additional benefits to members, such as the opportunity to dive deep into topics of shared interest, in addition to volunteer leadership and speaking opportunities.

Simply put, Knowledge Centers allow you to connect with other members who understand what you’re dealing with, without lots of explanation.

Get Involved – Become a Delegate Member

Currently, there are two Knowledge Centers: Talent Acquisition & Management and Diversity Equity & Inclusivity. While any member can attend a Knowledge Center meeting, you can gain maximum value by joining one or both of these Knowledge Centers as a Delegate Member. There is no fee to become a Delegate Member and you:

are recognized on the Knowledge Center webpage and marketing materials;
receive priority access to Knowledge Center meetings;
contribute your ideas for discussion topics; and
are considered for speaking at Knowledge Center meetings.

To join as a Delegate Member, contact Steve Farace at Steve.Farace@SharedXpertise.com and indicate which Knowledge Center you would like join (or both).

In addition to Delegate Members, Knowledge Centers also have Co-chairs. Appointed by the Association, Co-chairs are a mix of practitioner, provider and advisor members who work together to develop programming that serves the needs of the Knowledge Center’s members.

Interactive Virtual Meeting Format

Each Knowledge Center will feature quarterly 1-hour virtual meetings that combine expert-led content with shared problem-solving discussions, resulting in new ideas, improved processes and ultimately, a competitive edge in today’s competitive landscape. The support system and relationships developed within these meetings and beyond are invaluable. The meetings feature:

Industry Viewpoint (15 min). Content discussion facilitated by subject matter expert/provider co-chair.
Member Viewpoint (15 min). Content discussion facilitated by TA leader/practitioner co-chair.
