The Alabama SHRM State Council is the communication link between members, chapters, and the SHRM organization. The Council provides leadership, communication, and supports thousands of human resource professionals who are either members of a SHRM chapter or members at-large in Alabama. The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) has more than 250,000 members and is the global voice for the human resources profession. The Alabama SHRM State Council hosts one statewide conferences each year and they continue to grow in popularity due to the innovative, timely programs and the professional development value delivered to the participants. The Council supports Alabama’s SHRM chapters by providing financial and volunteer resources. The Alabama SHRM State Council and the state’s SHRM chapters have been successful because of the professionalism, dedication, and passion of the human resource professionals in the state. We are fortunate to be able to take advantage of the profession’s support structure, and that support is critical to each of our individual successes and the success of our organization. We owe it to our profession to continue to build, develop, and promote the human resources profession.
