    Who We Are

    The New York State Society for Human Resource Management, Inc. (SHRM New York State), is your link between a chapter and SHRM. The State Council's structure consists of volunteer leaders. The officers are elected. Committee chairpersons and district directors are appointed by the Council from those expressing an interest to serve in a particular capacity.

    SHRM's volunteer leadership structure links members with the Board of Directors, the policy-making body of SHRM. Each chapter president serves as a voting member of the council.
