On the afternoon of April 10th, 2010, more than 20 HR VPs, HR directors join the 2nd meeting of the Drafting Committee of HASA, representing over 300 founding members and 63 drafting committee members.
The meeting was held at the reception conference room of Zhabei government of Shanghai. The attendees enjoyed the new Long Jin tea and discussed thoroughly about the documents, financing plan and operations of HASA. The representatives elaborated their opinions enthusiastically
The meeting discussed about the results of the 1st and 2nd preparatory sessions, the 1st drafting committee meeting. Also, the meeting reviewed the charter for the founding mem-bers’ conference, the mission, vision and the operations of HASA. The meeting also au-dited the funding of the preparatory stages and investigated the financing, investment, and income distribution for future operations. Meanwhile, the meeting initially determined the ownership of intellectual property and copyrights and thus confirms the working products of HASA founding members with mechanism.
Meeting Minutes for 2nd Meeting of the Drafting Committee of HASA (2010.4.10)
The meetings believe that: Unlike other types of HR communities in China, HASA is a industry-wide association and will be sanctioned by the central government of China per the legal procedures.
China is facing the 2nd transforming of indus-trial structures. In the future economic develop-ment, human resources play a critical role. HR management get fast development in the past over 10 years, while enormous HR practitioners come to this occupation and bunches of HR ser-vice vendors emerge. Therefore, to set up formal processes and models for HR management with common agreement, is significant for coaching next generations of HR practitioners, for regulat-ing behaviors of HR service industry, for providing support to government’s decision making, for optimizing workforce and for promoting employ-ment rates.
Hence, HASA should have the following functions in the HR industry: 1. Self-improvement for HR practitioners: it is
one of the missions of HASA to improve the competencies of both senior HR professionals and next generation of HR practitioners. HR
can undertake the social responsibilities only based on the healthy HR team and industrial rules. The founding members and core team of HASA come from senior HR executives, scholars of business administrations and top executives. We are able to conclude the gist of HR management from rich on-site experi-ences and from theoretical perspective. Those benchmarks and regulations for HR industry established from various angles play crucial role in advancement of HR team;
2. To provide support for public decision making: To assist the government to design and implement feasible and effective public decisions, HASA should provide relevant intelligence, feedback, report and etc. that help implementation of the policies formu-lated by the government. Furthermore, that creates positive social and legal environment for HR management as well.
3. To speed up the optimization of human resources structures and promote the employment rates: Being the team that manages the workforce, the HR profession-als most understand what types of talents
are required in economic development. Therefore, as an industry-wide for HR, HASA should initiatively undertake the social re-sponsibilities of consolidating human re-sources and improving social productivity. From a micro point of view, that is to better act well as an HR administrator in the organi-zation as mentioned in item 1, while from a macro view, we are supposed to offer profes-sional advice and suggestions to the govern-ment with regards to education, mobility and employment to support manpower equipment in the country’s economic development.
To reiterate the above, the meeting approves the following missions and vision for HASA:

bution should go first. HASA is the organization for all HR professionals and needs the efforts from all members. HASA is still at its beginning stage and requires the founding member’s contributions. HASA needs to set up mechanism to evaluate the future reward based on the member’s contribution. In order to respect knowledge and protect the founding mem-bers’ working products, the meeting believes it necessary to allocate the shares of the HASA funds to the founding members according to the individual’s contributions, ownership of intel-lectual property and copyrights. The founding member is entitled to the interests generated from the operation of the HASA funds. The funds should have monitoring mechanism of audit-ing and public scrutiny.

The meeting clarifies the expression and defines HASA as “the country-level HR association au-thorized and sanctioned by the government”.
