Are you interested in volunteering?

Keep reading to find out how you can get involved!

SHRM Howard County is a volunteer-led organization.  Our dynamic chapter is growing and volunteers are always welcomed (and needed).  You can choose to do a little or a lot – the decision is yours.  What we can assure you is that you will develop leadership skills and make new contacts and professional relationships that often lead to new friendships and personal connections. You’ll also have an opportunity to support the growth and strengthen the position of the HR profession, not only in Howard County but statewide. Collectively, we make a significant impact on the Howard County business community.  Thank you for considering involvement in our chapter!
