How to Affiliate Your Human Resource Organization with SHRM:

Professional human resource organizations affiliate to SHRM by fulfilling the following requirements:

• Chapter President must be national SHRM member.
• Chapters must have at least 25 members and 100% of chapter members must be national SHRM members.
• Chapter bylaws must not conflict with the basic principles of SHRM or its bylaws.

The chapter affiliation procedure is quite simple.  A human resource organization interested in affiliating with SHRM submits to the appropriate state council director:

• A written petition requesting a chapter charter.
• A copy of the chapter’s bylaws.
• A roster of the chapter’s current membership
