SHRM Affiliate Program for Excellence

SHRM depends upon each of its affiliates to operate in a professional manner; effectively manage its finances; maintain affiliation standards; communicate with members, the community and SHRM; and promote SHRM. Completing all 9 items in the Basic Requirements section is a baseline of operations and will help your chapter build a stronger foundation for success.

greater than 200 attendees do not take place “around” the SHRM Annual Conference & Exposition.

 

• Provide annual financial results at the end of each year.

 

• Ensure that the current SHRM “AFFILIATE OF” logo is correctly, consistently and prominently displayed on printed materials, publications, products, and web sites.
