Foundational HR Forum for Nonprofits

This event is closed. If you have interest in joining a future Forum, please contact us and we will add you to the list of future participants.

Gain new skills, learn the latest HR best practices and expand your influence.

Now more than ever, it’s incredibly important to have a trusted peer group of HR professionals to confer with about emerging trends and challenges in our field. We saw so much change so fast in the first few months of the COVID-19 outbreak, and no doubt this will continue into 2021 — if not beyond.

Remote learning that doesn’t feel remote!

Wipfli has created a dynamic and interactive small-group HR forum specifically for nonprofits, constructed with a flexible agenda that allows us to shift or add topics as new issues surface.

The same people will participate in each forum session throughout the year, allowing individuals to develop powerful and lasting professional relationships and to engage in specific problem solving. Our facilitators will customize your forum to fit the needs of your group and emerging challenges.
