    Sophie Klossner

    Guest Speaker: Sophie Klossner, HDI Director of Membership and Local Chapters
    Topic: Value of Community
    RSVP Today!

    Sophie Klossner has been an influential member of the HDI team since 1992. She focused on event planning, content, and coordinating speaker development for the first two years with HDI as well as managed HDI’s human resource department for eight years.

    In 1999, Sophie became the Local Chapter Membership Director and Chief Member Advocate, working closely with Local Chapter officers and members to maintain open lines of communication, representing members’ needs and issues, and building strong relationships with all of HDI’s chapters, officers and members. In December 2009, Sophie became the Director of HDI Membership where she brings her many years of member advocacy and relationship strengths in expanding membership and bringing value to the HDI members.

    "Since the founding of our country, Americans have understood the value of being able to associate and assemble. Our founders understood and believed the concept of forming "associations" or "communities" as important to the future of our country, so much so that they wrote it into the U.S. Constitution." (excerpt from HDI Focus Book “The Professional Association” written by Rich Hand.)

    HDI, the community for the support professional, takes on the personality of the individuals within its community. Sophie Klossner invites you to become part of that personality. Join her on the road to a powerful community that you build, that you take away from it what you put in, and what that community can give you in return for your support.
