BCSHRM TO PIONEER DUAL MEMBERSHIP IN BALDWIN COUNTY

Locally Relevant. Nationally Informed. Double the expertise with Dual Membership.

Baldwin County, AL, November 6, 2023 – With a go-live date of December 11, 2023, Baldwin County Society for Human Resource Management (BCSHRM) is excited to announce an alliance with the national Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) in the strategic initiative known as Dual Membership. As an award-winning local chapter of SHRM with a tradition of being the local go-to group for all things HR, Dual Membership will offer further opportunities to connect, collaborate, learn, and grow.

Becoming a 100% chapter, BCSHRM will have access to nationally recognized speakers. It will allow members to maximize their access to the SHRM Competency Model to facilitate the advancement of career paths or further knowledge as a student or business professional. Alignment with National SHRM lends credibility and strength in numbers increasing the effectiveness when representing HR professionals with grassroots efforts at the legislative level.

BCSHRM empowers members by providing personal and professional development, invaluable networking opportunities, the exchange of diverse knowledge and experience, state and federal legal updates, and opportunities to attend monthly meetings, seminars, and conferences.

After December 11, 2023, membership in BCSHRM will require membership in National SHRM, i.e., Dual Membership. For current members of BCSHRM, their local-level membership will expire on December 31, 2023. Anyone not taking the opportunity for Dual Membership may still participate as a BCSHRM Community Partner by paying a fee for each chapter meeting they wish to attend ($30 per general monthly meeting).
