SHRM Local Chapter Network
GSMSHRM is one of the 560 SHRM affiliate chapters both in the United States and abroad, and provide additional programming and networking opportunities in your local area. SHRM chapters are autonomous organizations, so it is not automatic that you will be a member of your local chapter when you join SHRM at the national level, and vice versa. Information on how to join your SHRM local chapter is available at http://www.shrm.org/Communities/SHRMChapters/Pages/default.aspx.
