For the first 25 years of our firm’s history, I was blessed with the insight, wisdom, encouragement and partnership of my father by my side to develop and lead The Human Resource Consortium. He passed in 2021. Thank you, Dad, for the gifts of strategic thinking (teaching me to play chess and to sail when I was 8), the courage to lead a path less chosen, mindset to instill business in the heart of HR, the balance of solid analytics with grounded intuition, exceptional integrity, and humility which you have shared with me throughout your life. You have been an inspiration and grounding force. Your sage spirit and advice will remain with us and those we mentor, going forward.
