The Bluegrass Compensation Association was founded in 1997 by area human resources professionals who had a desire to promote the professional practice of compensation and benefits management. We provide education programs, networking opportunities and access to information resources to a membership made up of professionals, managers and administrative staff from more than 30 top employers in Central Kentucky.

Quarterly meetings provide a relaxed atmosphere for members and guests to meet peers, hear from leading-edge HR professionals and exchange ideas and information. Through the Compensation Innovation (COIN) Award, BCA recognizes on-going excellence and innovation in the practice of performance management and total rewards in Central Kentucky.

BCA is a local affiliate of WorldatWork, the world's leading not-for-profit professional association dedicated to knowledge leadership in compensation, benefits and total rewards. Founded in 1955, WorldatWork focuses on human resources disciplines associated with attracting, retaining and motivating employees.

BCA members are encouraged to join WorldatWork, but national membership is not a requirement for local participation.  Additionally, as a WorldatWork member you are welcome to join BCA. Although local participation is not required, it does give you a unique opportunity to share ideas and resources with peers in Central Kentucky.
