And my membership, like Kevin, gives me a window on my customer as well as HR info to apply to my own business. It functions. I'm Richie (in drag) to your Fonz... and when the Fonz comes to the party it makes it cooler. So welcome aboard again Lance. Beth Carvin (Nobscot Corporation) recently shared with me the SHRM virtual bar called "The Hut" topic that resides under the SHRM website forum section "HR Talk", sometimes it is known as "The HR Bacon Hut". People order virtual drinks and bar food on Friday. See what membership can bring?! - @designtwit I SO agree about your comment on local vs national disconnect.

I have been a member of SHRM for 8 years (I think). Although I criticize them sometimes they are the best option for information and news about our industry. Sometimes I can't live with them but more often than not, I can't live without them. Welcome back and connect with me on SHRM connect. I'm still listed as Jessica Miller. I think I'll make that my New Year's resolution to change my name on SHRM to the hyphenation. Did I mention that I've been married for over three years? Man, I'm way behind. . .

We also have separate dues and applications which makes the process even more tedious. Also, I wish there was a more involvement between the collegiate chapter, national chapter and local chapters.

As for Con #2 - the perceived disconnect between local chapters and SHRM - the important thing to remember is that each affiliate chapter establishes its own by-laws and membership criteria. And, of course, processes such as paying dues. It also sounds like your local chapter is a 100% chapter (meaning they require chapter members to also be SHRM members); not all chapters are like this, but for various reasons may either have to be or choose to be. But.. here is your opportunity to 'change from within!" As a local chapter Past President, I found the most effective way to move things forward was to become involved and drive identified improvements - i.e. changes to the chapter by-laws that USED to exclude rather than include a number of HR practitioners, and operational processes such as dues payments and membership applications. p.s. I like the blue kool-aid. I’m glad you’re back too!

That was important to me as I had to decide whether it was actually worth it for me to spend my money on instead of a couple of months of Starbucks Iced Black Coffees. I do enjoy the fact that everyone is so positive. Who distributed the kool-aid to these folks? @Laurie – It was my investment alone.

Although I thought it was the Society for Humus Recycling Mercenaries. Seriously, I've been in the HR marketplace for 10 years now, but on the marcom HR supplier side of the fence. I want to learn more about the professional side of the fence and that's why I joined. Plus, I really like what China has to say about the profession and where it should be going. And all you other deadbeats as well. ;) I joined. Although I thought it was the Society for Humus Recycling Mercenaries.
