of Current and Past Members "The
Twin Cities IT HR Forum has been a wonderful opportunity to network with
other HR professionals in the local area. This Forum fosters
the sharing of ideas and roundtable discussion on a number of
topics that we likely encounter on a regular and consistent basis in our
positions. These discussions, along with the tools found on the website,
provide a multitude of valuable resources that ultimately enable us to do our
work more effectively." Ryan
Albrecht, Park Nicollet Health Services "I
have been involved from the inception of the group and have been asked to
present at a few of the meetings. As
this group has matured, the list of topics has evolved to include some very
tough subjects, and this information is shared via quarterly
programs, webcasts and surveys.
Because of this approach, there are numerous viewpoints offered to ‘hot’
topics, and there has been a rapid dissemination of this data so that members
can use that information within their respective organizations. The exposure to the diverse IT perspectives
and accessibility to a support network make this a valued investment in HR/IT
issues." Dave
Zitur, Carlson Companies, Inc. Interested in
membership?
"I
have found the Forum to be a valuable resource for knowledge sharing and
networking. We are a unique group who share the common bond of supporting
IT and that provides a valuable perspective as we all look for ways to support
our customers more effectively. As members, we are frequently asked to
provide input into topic and agenda development, so you are guaranteed that you
will be discussing topics that are top of mind for members. The ability
to survey the membership and collect practice and policy information is another
advantage and is often helpful in providing business case information that is
of use when working with senior leaders in IT.”
