Why join a local chapter?

Real World Networking (Not just business cards) - Connect with HR professionals facing similar challenges within the same labor market and local laws. Build trusted peer relationships you can call when issues arise. HR can be isolating—local chapters create connection and support.

Practical, Localized Learning - Learn how other organizations handle employee relations, compliance, and culture. Get actionable takeaways – not just theory.

Certification & Professional Development Support - Advance your career with a SHRM-CP or SHRM-SCP by participating in local SHRM certification study groups. Local chapters offer convenient access to ongoing learning opportunities and recertification credits through programs and conferences.
