HR Florida serves the needs of all SHRM members and chapters in the state, including members of SHRM who’ve not yet joined a local SHRM chapter.
The purpose of local chapters is to:
Provide a local forum for your personal and professional development
Provide an opportunity to develop your leadership, managerial, public speaking and group decision-making skills
Provide a local networking arena
Provide a focus for legislative attention to local, state, and national human resource management issues.
Membership in a local SHRM chapter is separate and apart from membership in SHRM.
