ABOUT US

In the summer 2008, a member of another local chapter of SHRM felt the need for another chapter within the Northwest Metro-Atlanta area.  A number of at-large members were sent emails soliciting their ideas and feedback on the feasibility of such a chapter.  Soon after, several Human Resource professionals began emailing and subsequently began meeting to discuss the formation an association of Human Resource professionals.  The idea was to network with other Human Resource professionals in this area and to share information regarding HR related topics and professional development.

In August 2009, the officers of the newly formed association applied to become a chapter of the Society for Human Resource Management.  The application was accepted and the association became known as Allatoona SHRM Chapter.  Through our affiliation, membership, programs, and activities, we continue to support and advance initiatives and training that are important to HR Management and members of Allatoona SHRM.

Our membership consists of HR Professionals from the following industries:  manufacturing, services, education, recruitment, health care, green technology, nonprofit organizations, insurance, construction and consulting--just to name a few.  Our professionals support businesses in the following counties:  Bartow, Cobb, Cherokee, and Paulding.
