You may notice an update to our chapter logo as part of our co-branding as a Dual Membership Requirement (DMR) chapter affiliated with SHRM. We recognize that this change comes at a time when many in the HR community have questions and strong feelings, and we want to acknowledge that openly.

Our chapter is a locally governed, volunteer-led organization focused on serving the HR professionals in our region. While we are affiliated with SHRM our chapter is not involved in ongoing legal matters and cannot comment on them. What remains unchanged is our commitment to providing education, connection, and support to our local HR community.

Our board and volunteers are practitioners who care deeply about ethical leadership, respectful workplaces, and the people we serve.

We appreciate your continued engagement, dialogue, and grace as we move forward together. Our focus remains on you, our members, and the strength of our local HR community.
