Incredible network for senior L&D professionals
Exclusive suite of learning resources
“This is a place for those who value conversations with a diverse group of people, facing similar challenges. Members share their experiences, ask challenging questions, elicit new thinking and learn from others. Quite simply, it’s a gift.”
Sam Bowerman, People Director, NatWest
“Another fantastic event that has created a lot of thought. I get a huge amount from being part of the group. It’s great to get reassurance that I’m not the only one facing the challenges – and hearing how others have overcome them inspires me.”
Member, The Ivy House Members’ Club
“We speak to so many brilliant CPOs, HRDs and L&D leaders who are grappling with the same issues; we just knew we had to bring them together. It’s about having a safe space to ask questions, challenge old thinking and bring in the new.”

FAQs
Membership is free and includes all events, member sessions and dinners, and access to the LinkedIn members group. Our full-day retreats are chargeable. As retreat dates are released, we will share the focus and cost.
The Club is for senior HR and L&D professionals who love learning from others and sharing their experiences. Our application process focuses on just that — if you are keen to be part of a learning community, happy to contribute, and will make the time to attend events. The membership committee reviews every application to ensure members are a good fit and can offer something valuable to the community.
If you know someone who would love to join The Members Club, you can forward them this email with a link for more infomation and details of how to join. They can then apply for a place and will be notified when a space is available. There is a place for them to add your name – so we know you are recommending them.
Once you’re accepted into The Members’ Club, you can remain a member, provided you still meet the criteria for membership (you’re a senior professional within the HR or L&D department of a corporate organisation who is an active member of The Club). We recognise that people often take breaks between roles, so your membership will stay live for 12 months while you determine your next move. We ask that you notify us of any moves so we can update your contact details.
Places are offered on a first-come, first-served basis, provided you meet the criteria for membership. The membership committee is looking out for senior leaders within HR or L&D, with a breadth and depth of experience working in large-scale organisations – meaning you can bring a high level of expertise and valuable advice to the group.
We have only just launched The Members’ Club, but places are limited and we expect them to go quickly. Once we have accepted the initial 100 members, we will review the waiting list on a quarterly basis. We expect the waiting list for membership to be approximately 6-12 months.
Once a space becomes available, we will notify you by email (using the email address you used to register). Upon receipt of this email, you will have five days to accept your place before it is offered to the next person on the list. We regularly review our membership list to ensure members are active participants and free up space for new members ASAP.

About Ivy House
We’re experts in leadership and talent development.
Our approach centres on the human experience. You need leaders who not only have the skills to be agile and future fit, but who understand that the effectiveness of their leadership is measured not by the tasks they manage but by the human connections they create and the high-performing teams they lead.
That’s when performance changes; when talent at every level can think and behave like those at the top of their game.
