RILA's Retail Talent Council (RTC) Takes Shape

For the past several years, the HRLC has been a great convener for the highest-level HR executives from RILA member companies. It has created wonderful opportunities to network with peers, hear from high-level public policy experts, and explore the trends in the retail industry. In addition, during the last two years, with the help of 2018 HRLC Chairman Bob Ravener (Dollar General) and current Chairman Kevin Stickles (Wegmans), the Council has evolved as a crucial information source to help RILA and its members understand the impactful trends in retail and develop forward-thinking public policy strategies that will help grow the 21st century retail workforce. Many of the trends have centered around retail talent and the significant changes occurring in the marketplace.

To fully realize our updated focus and vision to create a central hub for retail talent related strategy, the HRLC will be reimagined as the Retail Talent Council (RTC).
