David Cherrington
People looking at the HRCP Program as a possible resource for PHR and SPHR exam preparation study materials often wonder about the program’s authors. I thought I’d introduce you to one of them today.
I am lucky to have the world’s best business partner. David Cherrington is HRCP’s co-founder and the main author of the HRCP Program. I can’t imagine anyone more qualified to lead HR professionals down the road to certification. A professor at Brigham Young University’s Marriott School of Management, David has been teaching human resource management for more than 35 years. He served on the HRCI (Human Resource Certification Institute) Board of Directors, where he was in charge of exam item development. He also conducted the 1993 codification study that helped define and expand the HRCI body of knowledge. He is a seasoned textbook author, a vigorous researcher, and a prolific writer. He’s also a champion runner and hurdler, which shoots him way up in my esteem.
Professional and athletic qualifications aside, David is a terrific guy. I don’t know anyone more honest, caring, and generous. I’m lucky to work with him. Hey, I consider myself fortunate just to know him.
