OUR CHAPTERS

The Humanistic Management Network lives, works and acts through its local Chapters and collaborations with our members. Our Chapters drive diverse activities ranging from organizing and hosting events to leading research projects with subsequent publications to integrating Humanistic Management Principles into university teaching. What unites all Chapters is the invaluable service their members deliver to our shared purpose.
