We include major HR and OD professional associations, some of which you may be familiar. The professional associations offer online education, professional certifications, resources and forums/conferences to build networks and increased capacity in members and non-members. Additionally, the individuals and groups in our blog list represent those who bring a novel lens or perspective and have a particular interest in the support of our profession. We hope they’re insightful to you! We will be adding to both these lists in the very near future.
