Our volunteer SHRM New Orleans board of directors work together to help provide the best resources for each and every member through our events.  Our monthly meetings and professional development opportunities provide both SHRM and HRCI credits for our certified members seeking credits for recertification.  SHRM New Orleans events are planned to provide current, significant human resource knowledge to address challenges that impact people and organizations in the Greater New Orleans Region.

We are always excited about new volunteers, so if you are looking for a way to get more involved and build your connections, please reach out at any time at President@nolashrm.org
