Menu of HPAA Forums and Services
The HPAA
uses three industry-standard services –
Yahoo Groups, LinkedIn, and a MediaWiki site.
Each of these industry-standard services requires a separate
login. You must use the same email
address with all of the HPAA services.
With more than 15,000 members, we have many duplicate names.
Your email address identifies you for all HPAA matters –
including allowing you to join the optional job-post list,
online forums, and LinkedIn networking group.
To determine the email address for your membership,
check where your twice-a-month issues of "HP Alumni News"
are sent.
Please allow 48 hours for
our volunteers to complete your requests. |

Discussion forums and email lists
(optional)
HPAA members may subscribe to
optional discussion forums and email lists. Each is a
separate "group" on Yahoo. The subject line of each email
gives the name of the group – for example [HPAA Careers]
For each group, you can change your subscription to send
daily digest emails, or
no emails.
You must use the same email address for your HPAA
membership and all subscriptions.

Professional networking

LinkedIn is the leading professional networking
system. You can search and reach those in the same group
without a paid LinkedIn membership.
Use the groups to
find exHPers at a specific company, or by industry, title,
or city ...or reconnect with a former co-worker ...or just to
answer "Whatever happened to?"
Join both groups for
best LinkedIn networking. |
