HR Alliance

An alliance of Human Resource professionals creating workforce strength through communication and collaboration.

The Human Resource Alliance for Workforce Excellence was formed in 2002 to identify employer needs and work through regional resources to augment the workforce size, improve workforce quality and improve employee-employer matching services. The Alliance meets bi-monthly for lunch and networking, often with a speaker and a tour.

This group is comprised of only Human Resource professionals. If you are an East Texas HR professional and interested in connecting with the group, contact Tim Smith at Timothy@longviewusa.com
