SHRM National Information:

For the first time in more than 20 years, SHRM is increasing membership dues for professional, general and associate members. For memberships beginning January 1, 2011, annual dues will increase $20, to $180, or about 39 cents per week. To download talking points to help answer come questions you might have CLICK HERE. If you have questions about your dues or SHRM membership, please contact us at SHRM.MemberRelations@shrm.org.

The increase – our first since 1990 – is necessary because: We want to ensure that SHRM continues to provide leading-edge services and products, enabling you to stay ahead of what’s next. This means investing in new resources and content that you want and need on a timely basis.

The cost of doing business has increased over the past 20 years. Even with the increase, dues won’t cover the average cost of providing benefits and services to our members.

When members were asked to put a value on their SHRM benefits, the average response was $400. At $180 a year, SHRM’s dues will still remain lower than those of other major HR or professional associations.

We will continue to provide:

A new member discount, $15 off the membership price ($165 v. $180);

$100 memberships to the professionals who provide administrative services to SHRM chapters;

A discounted first-year rate for chapter members of $165;

And for members who have lost their jobs due to the recession, a one-year extension of their memberships at no cost.

Thank you for your continuing loyalty and support of SHRM and your commitment to the HR profession.

Sincerely,

Janet N. Parker, SPHR
Chief Global Membership Officer
