DUAL MEMBERSHIP ANNOUNCEMENT

Our Chapter is excited to join SHRM in the Dual Membership Release (DMR) program.  We will be launching this program on January 17, 2023. This program enables us to jointly sell and renew our Chapter membership along with SHRM’s membership in one transaction with one profile – all of this will be handled by SHRM’s robust systems. Chapters have been asking for this solution for years, and it is finally happening!  Chapter members will now have the ability to renew their GCHRA Chapter membership along with their SHRM membership on the SHRM website. Yes, there will only be ONE transaction!

Renewal Date Alignment: To make this program work, the renewal date of your Chapter membership must be aligned to the renewal date you have on your SHRM membership. The SHRM renewal date will be the only renewal date going forward. This alignment means that on January 16, 2023, your chapter membership will automatically either be (1) lengthened so that it lasts as long as your remaining SHRM membership, or (2) shortened so that it is as short as your remaining SHRM membership.  After this one-time alignment, whenever you renew in the future, you will be able to renew both memberships seamlessly and simultaneously! 

Thank you for your support during this conversion process.
