"HRPA has such a high-performing board and a team of incredibly talented people who are all aligned in their shared commitment to regulatory excellence. HRPA and our members understand the increasing complexity in workplaces today. This is such an important time for HR professionals to be adding value in their organizations and I am really excited to work with all of our chapters and partners in championing HR excellence."

Taylor Green previously served on the HRPA board for six years and was a member of the task force that developed the association’s professional competency framework, said Bonnie Seidman, chair of the CEO search committee.
"The search committee was incredibly impressed with Louise's background and experience — she's been in the public and private sector, has worked under all provincial and federal employment legislation, she's run large operational functions, she's been a P&L owner, she's run strategy and she's recognized as a truly transformational HR executive. We're delighted that we were able to attract a candidate of Louise's caliber."
