Human Resource Leadership Forum

The Human Resource Leadership Forum (HRLF Atlanta) is a nonprofit professional association and network of human resource executives and senior level professionals. The association consists of more than 150 members in the Atlanta area and we have been an affiliate of HR People & Strategy (HRPS) since 1981. We have a 75/25% balance ratio between corporate members and service providers. Unfortunately at this time we have a freeze on accepting new service providers as members.

Our membership focus is:

• Small organizations or division headquarters of large, complex organizations (less than 1,000 employees) – only the top HR executive and only if the candidate has demonstrated strategic responsibility in that current role or a previous role.
• Medium to large organizations or divisions (more than 1,000 employees) – the top HR executive as described above, vice presidents who have broad generalist strategic responsibilities or vice presidents who have OD/OE responsibilities.

Breakfast Programs
These programs typically feature a guest speaker on a strategic, thought-provoking topic. These sessions also provide time for members to exchange ideas and discuss practical applications and HR best practices.
