Annual SHRM Member Audit – Are You Ready?
Each year all chapters are required to submit a copy of their chapter membership rosters to SHRM. The rosters are required in order for the chapter to participate in and be eligible for SHRM’s Chapter Financial Support Program (CFSP) and to determine if the chapter meets SHRM’s affiliation requirements.
- SHRM reimburses the chapters $25 per member per year for 100% chapters (all chapter members are SHRM members) and $10 per year per SHRM member for non-100% chapters.
- For affiliation, SHRM requires that all chapters chartered prior to January 1, 2004 have 30% or 10 SHRM members whichever is greater. All chapters chartered on or after January 1, 2004 must have 51% or 25 SHRM members, which is greater. The more SHRM members a chapter has, the more financial support the chapter will receive, and the higher the percentage of SHRM members will be, making it in the best interest of the chapter and SHRM to recruit and retain as many members as possible!
As a best practice, I recommend you request an updated chapter Roster from Nicole Hall prior to conducting your audit. Don’t wait until the end of the year, complete your SHRM audit now! If you need assistance please do not hesitate to contact me, I would be more than happy to assist.
