SHRM supports an executive network of local student and professional chapters throughout the United States and in Puerto Rico, Guam, and Bermuda. These groups are managed by local volunteer leaders and, in some of the larger chapters, a paid administrator. For administrative purposes, SHRM divides the country into six geographical area. To find out what area your chapter is located in check the directory of SHRM chapters . The AVP, also a member of the Board of Directors, serves as the primary organizational link between the national headquarters and the local professional chapters and membership.
Many areas appoint state and area college relations directors.
These individuals serve as a link between the professional chapters and the local colleges, universities, and student chapters. Each of these volunteer leaders wants to see your chapter succeed, so do hot hesitate to call on them for advice and assistance. The student chapter liaison should be your direct contact with the professional SHRM chapter in your community. If you do not know who your chapter liaison is, contact your sponsoring chapter or the National SHRM office . On a national level, the student program manager, on staff at SHRM, works closely with the national College Relations Committee to manage and direct the student membership program.
