SHRM Membership Statistics

Our state SHRM membership stats are improving, but we have a long way to go. We were at -6.2 percent and we are currently at -4.5 percent. Yes, we are in the red. Fifty percent of our chapters are losing SHRM members. (Do you know where your chapter stands?) Remember the minimum SHAPE goal for SHRM in-chapter membership is to maintain Dec. 2010 figures. This last quarter of the year is an opportunity to organize a membership drive by hosting a SHRM at-large event to win those lost members back or gain new ones. Some chapters are incorporating a membership discount or are including a free lunch meeting. Others are sending personalized "we want you back" notes. The VLRC is a great resource for membership recruitment ideas. If you hold a special event to promote membership, you can fulfill a SHAPE objective. As always, please contact Jennifer Rower with any questions, 210-638-5012 or jrower@woodcharter.com.
