Maryland Chapters

Have you considered joining a local SHRM chapter? 

As an HR professional, you have the opportunity to apply for membership with a local chapter. As a member of a SHRM affiliated local chapter you will have access to a wealth of services and programs that can broaden your skills and make you more valuable to your organization.

SHRM Membership can provide you with LOTS of great benefits, including:

• Exposure to other HR professionals and companies revealing how other organizations handle various human resource situations;

• Opportunity to develop leadership skills by volunteering in a leadership role in a local chapter; and
