Councils of Human Resources Executives
(Eastern and Western Canada)
Since 1975, the Councils of Human Resources Executives (HR Councils) have brought senior HR leaders together to explore critical HR trends and issues.
You need to stay on top of emerging issues and the latest tools for fostering a high-performance organization. The HR Councils are your source for timely information, insights from thought leaders, and access to peers.
The HR Councils’ members are the most senior human resources executives from over 120 of Canada’s largest organizations–public and private. Exchange strategies with these HR leaders in an exclusive forum and get the latest insights on today’s human resource challenges.
With regional groups in Eastern and Western Canada, the Councils offers HR executives a unique leadership development opportunity. Both groups meet separately in the fall and winter and then jointly in early summer.
