The Philadelphia Society of People and Strategy is the premier organization for exchanging ideas and knowledge among the Greater Philadelphia Region's human resource and business leaders. We create a network of professionals working as business partners in strategic human resource practices. We support our field on three levels: 1) professional enhancement for members, 2) increased effectiveness for the organizations that our members support, and 3) advancement of our profession. History & Organization Founded in 1979 as an affiliate of the Human Resource Planning Society, we first held monthly roundtable discussion meetings. Over the years we grew in scope, size, sophistication, and reputation. Today we are guided by a volunteer Board of Directors, and have several standing committees. We rely heavily on the active involvement and creativity of our members who continuously advance our association.
