RPI members range from Fortune 500 companies to medium and small businesses across all sectors. We have members from Southwest Airlines, MIT, Accenture, Kaiser Permanente, McKinsey & Company, RBC Royal Bank and so many more world-class organizations. Our members rely on the RPI conference to network with their peers, access our 7 Best Practices model, raise their professionalism by applying for our Best Practice Awards as well as our world-class Certified Recognition Professionals (CRP) certification program.
Recognition drives employee engagement and our members are leaders driving results using RPI resources.
With members hailing from the U.S., Canada, and abroad, the recognition professionals who attend this meeting include directors of human services, employee relations, benefits, chief HROs, meeting planners, and more.
