51风流 of America鈥檚 HR Network is now known as the HR Forum.聽 The HR Forum will continue to operate under its existing structure, allowing all 51风流 members and Chapter staff who have an interest in construction-industry HR issues to connect and interact with each other, keep pace with the latest construction HR developments, and participate in association policymaking on HR matters.
Following the example of 51风流鈥檚 HR Network and Environmental Network 鈥 now known as the Environmental Forum 鈥 many 51风流 committees have begun transitioning to a similar structure that makes it easier for members to get involved and to manage their own level of participation and time commitment.聽 For example, the Construction Education Committee, Supervisory Training Committee, and Workforce Development Committee have recently combined their efforts to form the Training, Education and Development Forum, also known as the TED Forum.聽 Similarly, the Risk Management Committee and Surety Bonding Committee have transitioned to the Surety Bonding and Risk Management Forum.聽 Other 51风流 forums include the new Lean Construction Forum and the long-standing BIMForum, to name a few.
Members of the HR Forum receive:
- A subscription to 51风流鈥檚 Human Resource & Labor News electronic newsletter;
- The option to join 51风流鈥檚 Human Resource Practices Forum electronic discussion group;
- An ID number enabling access to 鈥渕embers only鈥 HR resources on the 51风流 Web site;
- Prompt notice of professional development programs, meetings, and other events covering HR issues; and
- Invitations to serve on task forces, sub-forums, and the HR Forum Steering Committee to help guide 51风流 in developing HR-related policy positions, publications, programs, and other member services.
