Membership
Chapter membership offers a number of advantages, including high quality professional development opportunities, discounts for monthly meetings, access to jobs available through the TSHRM Job Bank, up-to-date information on pending legislation that may impact your business, and the opportunity to network with other HR professionals.
Prospective members do not have to be National SHRM members; however, National SHRM membership offers a number of benefits. If you are interested in joining National SHRM, click here.
All applications for membership are reviewed and must be approved by the TSHRM VP of Membership. You will receive a welcome packet after your application has been approved and your dues payment has been received.
Our local chapter membership year runs from January 1 to December 31. If you submit a new membership application during the months of October, November or December, the dues payment will be applied to the following year. All ongoing members will receive a renewal notice each year.
National SHRM members who designate TSHRM as their primary chapter are eligible for a discount on TSHRM dues. If you are applying for the discount, please complete the Primary Chapter Designation portion of the application.
Dues are pro-rated after March 31 for new members. Click here to contact Membership Services with any questions. Continuing members will be required to pay the full amount of dues owed. If they have not paid by March 31, they will be removed from the active membership roster.
Prepaid Meeting Fees Option
Regular meeting fees may be pre-paid with annual dues for the regular chapter meetings (typically held in January, March, April, May, June, September, October and November).
This option is only available to on-going members who pay before January 31 or new members who join between October 1 – January 31.
As a pre-paid member you will need to register each month but then you may skip the line and check in as pre-paid. Special programs, workshops, and joint meetings are not included in this fee.
Be sure to include your e-mail address and your SHRM membership number (if applicable) on your application. If you are already a TSHRM member and would like to renew your membership, complete the Member Renewal Application.
Annual dues for membership are set by the Board of Directors each calendar year. The annual membership fee for calendar year 2008 will be $55. The annual membership fee with prepaid meeting fees for 2008 will be $200. (The fees are reduced to $45 and $190 respectively if National SHRM members designate TSHRM as their primary chapter.) Students may join TSHRM for $25 (discounted to $10 if student is a National SHRM member and designates TSHRM as his/her primary chapter).
If you have questions or need assistance with the application process, please contact our VP of Membership.
Students can check their eligibility for membership by visiting the College Relations page.
The discounted dues amount will be listed on the application.
