The Vermont State Council, along with our 3-local affiliated SHRM Chapters, is recognized as the thought leader in an ever-changing landscape, providing resources that empower human resources business leaders to develop and strengthen business practices that are competitive and relevant for their organizations.  We are a conduit for HR leaders to grow their knowledge and visibility by supporting our local SHRM chapter members, promoting the HR profession and its strategic partnerships within Vermont businesses and communities, and providing leadership and development opportunities that advance and empower HR leaders throughout the State through outreach and strategic initiatives.

The SHRM Vermont State Council is a non-profit organization and exists as an affiliate of the Society of Human Resource Management, the world's largest association devoted to Human Resource Management.  Membership is made up of 18 volunteers who are appointed to the Council, including the elected Presidents of our 3-local affiliated SHRM chapters, Vermont Human Resources Association (VHRA), Green Mountain Human Resources Association (GMHRA), and River Valley Human Resources Association (RVHRA).  The council supports the efforts of SHRM in the core leadership areas identified as Membership, Diversity, Workforce Readiness, College Relations, SHRM Certification, SHRM Foundation, and Governmental Affairs.
