And wouldn't it would be even better if their services were free?

Networking Events

Roundtables
ASE roundtables, where members (only) can get together to discuss timely subjects and share ideas, are a long-standing tradition at ASE. These events deliver professional development as well as the opportunity to build relationships with colleagues from other ASE member firms, and thus expand your professional network.  Topics are timely and expertly facilitated, giving you valuable, practical tips to take back to your workplace.

HR Specialist Networking Forums
While the Roundtables are open to HR practitioners from all areas, these networking forums are a new opportunity for specialists within HR to meet with their peers in other organizations.  Whether you are a Recruiter or a Compensation specialist, this is one group you want to be a part of.  ASE will match attendees based on their areas of specialization, and/or their company size, type, or industry, creating a robust networking group of like-minded professionals that become your extended learning community.

Focused Forums
Ever wondered how the company down the street manages to get on the 100 Best Places to Work consistently?  Ever wished that you had the opportunity to see how they run their HR practices?  ASE fulfills those wishes.  For a nominal fee, you can attend best-practice showcases at ASE member companies.  Not only will this provide you with an insider look into how other organizations manage their programs, but it will also allow you to pose questions to the people responsible for the programs ensuring hands on tools and tricks.
