Monthly Power Hours

The HR and Training Power Hours are educational and networking events available for all HRD Network Members and Business Partners. We also offer one complimentary session as you consider joining HRD!  These monthly sessions have topics relevant to today's issues and consist of either a speaker, a panel of speakers, or a roundtable discussion. As an attendee, you will have an opportunity to connect virtually and network through the sharing of ideas and best practices.  We hope you will join us!  -  If you are already a member, login and then click here to view content from previous Training Power Hours.
