LILI TRAN has a passion for human resources which began nearly 20 years ago. She began her career working in the private sector with companies such as R &D Systems (a software development firm), Hewlett Packard and Digital Equipment Corporation. After a few years, she moved into the public sector, spending 10 years as the Human Resources Director for the El Paso County Department of Health and Environment before joining the City of Colorado Springs. She spent a year as the Human Resources Manager for the Colorado Springs Police Department and was subsequently promoted to Director of Management Services. Her duties in this role included oversight of CSPD ’s fiscal services (management of an $87 million dollar budget); planning; research and development; grants management; information technology; logistics support services such as fleet management, facilities management, impound lot, and evidence services; and capital construction projects. Thereafter, she transferred to the Colorado Springs Fire Department to serve as their human resources manager and to get further experience in public safety and to return to HR.

Lili holds a bachelors degree in Business Administration (with dual emphasis in Human Resource Management and Organization Management) and a masters degree in Business Administration (with an emphasis in Leadership and Human Resource Management), both from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs.

Lili is currently a member of the Colorado Springs Human Resources Association (and also served two terms as president from 1995-1997), Colorado Springs Society for Human Resource Management and the national Society for Human Resource Management. She also participates in the Colorado Springs Diversity Forum and the El Pomar ’s Emerging Leaders Program.
