You were
here first.
Safe Space is what it is because of people like you. You were here before there was any momentum, you posted generously, and you helped make this place worth being in. The Founding Members program is how we celebrate the people who built something real here.
The goal
Safe Space exists to be the community where HR folks feel valued, seen, and heard. A place to ask the hard questions you might not be able to ask anywhere else, surrounded by people who get it.

You built something real here. This is the first version of how we recognize that, and your feedback is how we make it more valuable over time.
How we celebrate you
Five ways we put you front and center. Hover or tap a card to turn it over.
LinkedIn Badge
Yours for your profile, plus a feature on our LinkedIn page.
Contribution Spotlight
Your best posts and contributions surfaced and featured in the community feed.
Newsletter Feature
Your own moment in the IHIH newsletter, written by Kat: who you are, what you do, and what you bring to HR.
Direct Input
Periodic check-ins with Kat on community direction and what's working. Your feedback shapes where this goes.
Custom Group Swag
You'll vote on it — a custom satin bomber or jean jacket, something one of a kind the OGs pick together to commemorate this.
Opportunities for Founding Members
Continued Engagement
You already do this. Keep doing it. Posting, replying, attending events, and being an active presence is what makes Safe Space worth being in, and what inspires others to show up too.
Welcomer Rotation
A few times a year you'll be rotated in to connect with and welcome new members via DM. You'll always get a heads up when it's your turn. When a new member reaches out, aim to respond within 24-72 hours.
