Hear Why CHROs Love The C-TEN Community

"Joining the C-TEN community has been a game-changer for me. With high-quality content, expert-led discussions, meaningful best practice sharing, peer-to-peer support, and networking opportunities, I feel more connected, informed and prepared to lead in this constantly evolving field."

"The C-TEN in-person meetings are worth the time, effort, and cost of attending. Between the outstanding presenters and the intimate nature of the meeting, which allows real dialogue with industry thought leaders and between C-TEN members, the in-person retreats alone makes the C-TEN membership worthwhile."
Steve Antonoff
Former VP of Human Resources - CalPortland
“C-TEN offers an engaging, collaborative space to explore HR’s biggest challenges. I’ve gained valuable insights from peers across industries, and our confidential discussions have shaped my own decision-making. The in-person meetings are especially impactful, offering direct access to CHROs and senior leaders. I truly value my membership and the thought leadership provided by HRO Today."

The North America Forum Stage Was Theirs!

C-TEN members didn’t just attend the HRO Today Forum North America – they led it. Panels. Awards. Interviews. Center stage, every time.

From the spring CHRO Retreat to the opening panel, the CHRO of the Year Awards, and the Association Awards Luncheon, C-TEN members drove the conversation that moved the industry forward and inspired their peers with their workplace achievements. Thank you to every member who showed up, led with generosity, and made Philadelphia one to remember!
