About Us

    SHRM State Council is here to serve you

    As members of the Southern and Northern Nevada Chapters of the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), you’re probably well aware of the State Council’s existence, but may not be familiar with its purpose.

    Your Nevada State Council is comprised of knowledgable experts in the field of human resources working within our communities. They are educators, attorneys, hotel and banking executives and business owners. The primary mission of the Council is to provide a forum for chapters to discuss common issues, problems and concerns, and to share ideas and successes.

    State Council members serve as the conduit for communication among SHRM chapters, at-large members, and the area and national boards. They also coordinate HR professional development efforts, and facilitate services and programs for the collective interest of SHRM and local chapter members and leaders, and prospective members.

    The general responsibilities of the State Council include

    Supporting and implementing SHRM policies, strategies and objectives within the state. Establishing priorities and objectives, and administering plans and programs. Reviewing accomplishments, developing sound organizational structure and communicating closely with area and national boards as well as with chapters and members within the state.

    Developing and encouraging active student programs and activities. Providing for student chapters and student members to participate in local and statewide programs and activities.
