Mission Statement

The Seacoast Human Resources Association (SHRA) is a non-partisan, non-sectarian, and non-profit organization dedicated to the career development of Human Resource professionals.

Our chapter was formed in 1986 as a means of enhancing the professional growth of its members by advancing the skills and competencies in the field of Human Resources, through seminars, workshops and personal contacts. We were granted a charter from the American Society of Personnel in October 1986. That name changed to the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM) in 1991.

As a growing chapter of SHRM, we enjoy the support and the wide range of SHRM programs devoted to those engaged in a Human Resources career. Our chapter was awarded the SHRM Superior Merit Award in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008. SHRA encourages all applicants and members to hold a current membership with SHRM.

We invite you to apply for membership to SHRA and urge all new applicants to join SHRM.
