International HR SIG
The mission of the International Human Resources (IHR) Special Interest Group (SIG) is to offer global insight and understanding into the issues associated with international human resource practices by hearing dynamic speakers in the fields of immigration policies and practices, legislation and reforms as well as keeping us abreast of new developments.
We also strive to provide networking opportunities for professionals with a specific interest in IHR. After all, it's always time to revisit your global perspective! If you enjoy international human resource practices, you've found the right place. Any professional interested in or who works in the IHR field is welcome to attend our presentations and meetings.
Our meetings are bi-monthly and we also offer special programs on related subject matter. Most programs provide HRCI certification hours so make sure to make your education count!
