Membership
Membership is reserved for senior HR executives whose corporations or organizations have significant employee populations in Minnesota. Qualifying organizations must be a for-profit or not-for-profit company or corporation, subsidiary or major division, educational institution, or government agency with significant interests or employment in Minnesota. The general guidelines for membership are revenues of at least $100 million and 1,000 employees. There are several membership categories:
Corporate Tier 1: Organizations with over $3 billion in annual revenue. Annual Dues: $1,000. This level allows organizations to have up to three official HREC members: the senior HR officer and up to two direct reports who have responsibility for significant portions of the HR functions in the organization, and comes with three additional Guest Passes for use throughout each programming year.
Corporate Tier 2: Organizations with under $3 billion in annual revenue. Annual Dues: $650. This level provides one membership for the senior HR officer of the organization, and comes with two additional Guest Passes for use throughout each programming year.
Corporate Member Qualifications:
Is the senior HR officer in a qualifying organization, or is a direct report to the senior HR officer in an qualifying organization with revenue of at least $3 billion.
Has responsibility for all HR functions or a substantial portion of HR for organizations of at least 5,000 employees.
Has substantial experience in human resource management.
Individual: HR executives engaged or employed in the HR discipline, but whose organization doesn't qualify for membership. Examples include smaller company HR executives or consultants in the HR field who were former corporate HREC members. Annual Dues: $500
Retired: Retired HR executives who wish to stay engaged and involved in the field. Annual dues: $500
Transitional: This category is reserved for members of HREC who have left their prior employment and not yet joined another qualifying organization. Typically this membership is limited to 12 months, but may be extended by the Leadership Board. Annual dues: $500.
Emeritus: This category of membership is reserved for former members of HREC, from any membership category, who have distinguished themselves by their sustained, high quality work in support and advancement of the human resources discipline, and who have acted as role models for succeeding generations of HR practitioners. Emeritus members are entitled to attend all regular HREC meetings. Emeritus members will be nominated and appointed by the Leadership Board, and pay no annual dues.
Academic Partners: Recognizing the long and productive relationship between the HREC and the Center for Human Resources and Labor Studies (CHRLS) at the University of Minnesota, members of the faculty are welcome to attend regular meetings of the HREC as guests of the organization.
