Membership

The SHRM-Morris County Chapter is a community of HR professionals offering monthly educational and networking opportunities for our members and the business community. We also provide programs and workshops that support member career transition, as well as community organizations seeking our expertise.

We pride ourselves on being a 100% chapter.  This means that our Chapter members are also members of SHRM National.  This arrangement allows us to offer Chapter membership for free and to maintain chapter meeting fees at affordable rates.

What's In It For You?

People join our chapter to enhance their professional knowledge and skills, to keep informed on issues relevant to our changing industry, and to meet great people.  Many develop leadership skills through volunteer opportunities, as a member on our Board, by participating on a special project or helping with a monthly meeting.   Here is a list of just some of the many benefits of becoming a Chapter member:

• Exceptional educational and networking opportunities with over 700 members;
• Monthly events and annual half day workshops featuring engaging and informative guest speakers on the latest HR topics of concern to our employers and businesses;
• HRCI recertification credits for PHR, SPHR or GPHR professionals;
• Federal and NJ legislative updates to keep our members abreast of compliance issues and emerging case law;
• Scholarship opportunities for members seeking HRCI Certification, and Study Buddy sessions for those studying for the HRCI exam;
