SHRM Arrowhead to Become a Dual Membership Release (DMR) Chapter!

    June 16, 2025

    We are thrilled to share some exciting news regarding the future of our chapter and the incredible benefits it will bring to each of you. You may have noticed our new Logo and name: SHRM Arrowhead. We began co-branding with SHRM back in June.  Also, after careful consideration and collaboration, we are transitioning to a dual membership relationship with the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) effective August 18, 2025.

    This strategic partnership is a significant step forward, designed to streamline your membership experience and unlock even greater value. Here's how this transition will benefit you:

    • Simplified Membership: No more separate renewals! With dual membership, joining and renewing with our chapter will automatically include your SHRM national membership. This makes it easier than ever to maintain your connection to both our local HR community and the leading global HR organization.
    • Enhanced Programming Focus: This transition will allow our chapter leadership to dedicate even more time and resources to what matters most to you: delivering high-quality, relevant, and engaging programming. By simplifying administrative processes, we can sharpen our focus on bringing you cutting -edge insights, professional development opportunities, and invaluable networking events.
    • Seamless Access to SHRM Resources: Your dual membership grants you immediate access to the vast array of SHRM national resources, including their comprehensive HR knowledge base, exclusive research, certification pathways, legal compliance tools, and a global network of HR professionals. This powerful combination of local and national resources will elevate your professional growth.
    • Strengthening Our Partnership: This formal dual membership solidifies our already strong partnership with SHRM. It ensures that our chapter remains deeply integrated with the national HR landscape, allowing us to leverage SHRM's influence and resources to better serve your needs and advance the HR profession in our community.

    We believe this transition will significantly enhance the value of your membership, making it easier to join, more rewarding to participate in, and ultimately, more impactful for your professional journey. We will be sharing more details about the specifics of this transition in the coming weeks, including information on how your current membership will transition. Frequent communication is important as we navigate through this journey together.

    Renewal Date Alignment: To make this program work, the renewal date of your Chapter membership must be aligned to the renewal date you have on your SHRM membership. The SHRM renewal date will be the only renewal date going forward. This alignment means that on August 18, 2025 your chapter membership will automatically either be (1) lengthened so that it lasts as long as your remaining SHRM membership; or (2) shortened so that it is as short as your remaining SHRM membership. Depending on how much your chapter membership is lengthened or shortened to align with your SHRM membership, you may receive a credit or an invoice! Official members will be contacted with information on their membership status.

    After this one-time alignment, whenever you renew in the future, you will be able to renew both memberships seamlessly and simultaneously! 

    In the meantime, please feel free to reach out to any board member with your questions or send an email to ArrowheadHRassociation@gmail.com. We are incredibly excited about this new partnership and look forward to continuing to serve as your premier resource for HR excellence within our community.

    Sincerely,

    The SHRM Arrowhead Board
