About this event

Coffee and Connect an opportunity to network and connect with fellow people professionals

Do you ever wonder, What benefits do I really get from my CIPD membership?”
Join us for an engaging and informal session designed to help you uncover the full range of membership advantages—plus learn how others in the HR community are using them to support their professional growth.


During this session, we will:

  • Explore the key benefits and resources available through CIPD membership
  • Share practical tips for navigating the CIPD website and accessing learning opportunities
  • Highlight ways you can get involved, contribute your voice, and make the most of your membership experience
  • Create space for open discussion, knowledge sharing, and peer insights


This Coffee & Connect event is a relaxed opportunity to meet fellow people professionals, exchange ideas, and build your network while gaining a clearer understanding of how to maximise your CIPD membership.

We look forward to welcoming you and supporting you in getting the most from your CIPD journey.


Hosted by

Lindsay Whitehead , Laureen McHaffee and Michelle Myers. Members of the CIPD Branch in Thames Valley.
