Helping each other with life after HP. Operated by former HP, HPInc, and HPE employees -- and those in the process of leaving. Not officially endorsed or supported.

Alumni who never worked in the U.S. found that joining the HPAA was not useful to them. (The only benefit to joining the HPAA is membership in our online discussion forums -- which cover only U.S. issues, such as U.S. COBRA and retiree health benefits, including Annual Enrollment and transition to Medicare. U.S. pension, Social Security, etc.)

1. Find the other groups that suit your needs using our directory of 190 informal HP-related social and professional groups worldwide -- sites, regions, and countries; divisions and business units; HP predecessors and spinoffs; functional areas; special interests.

2. Make use of the non-country-specific HPAA services listed below. (As it happens, none of these services require HPAA membership.)

If leaving or recently left, use our ASAP Checklist -- what to do before losing access to the company's internal systems and in the following few weeks. While most of the details are U.S.-specific, the same fundamental issues apply everywhere.
