What are the benefits of being a member of AVHRA?

AVHRA is committed to the professional development of our diverse membership through education and networking opportunities.  Currently, AVHRA holds monthly meets on the third Thursday of each month, presenting a variety of topics and speakers on issues affecting human resource professionals.  In addition to monthly meetings, AVHRA sponsors workshops, seminars, and other special events that are typically offered to SHRM/NHRMA/AVHRA members at a special rate.

How can I become a member of AVHRA?

As a national SHRM member, you can immediately benefit from being a part of the local chapter when you complete your SHRM membership application. 
 
The application for membership is available on the home page of http://www.shrm.org/
Click on Join/Renew and follow the instructions. You will be downloading a Membership Application from that site. 

At the bottom left hand side of the application, you will be asked to designate an SHRM chapter, and you will insert “AVHRA-Wenatchee, WA (0540)” where indicated. Members of SHRM are eligible for all the benefits of AVHRA, NHRMA and SHRM.  There are no additional dues at the local chapter or regional level.  Your application form should be faxed to SHRM at the number shown on the application.
 
Once your membership has been confirmed, you will have full access to the SHRM website, and you will also be able to print your membership card out.

How much does an annual membership cost?

Annual membership dues are $180.00 per year (renewable on an anniversary date basis). 
 
SHRM is made up of individuals. Therefore, there are no corporate or institutional memberships.
