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.

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