NCSHRM State Council Leadership Committee

About Us

The North Carolina Council of SHRM (NCSHRM) is dedicated to serving the needs of SHRM chapters in North Carolina by representation to the National Society of SHRM and assistance in achieving each SHRM NC Chapter’s highest potential. NCSHRM promotes professionalism in human resources and adds value to the SHRM membership. The NCSHRM Board is made up of volunteer representatives across NC who serve to advance the human resources profession:

  • Executive Committee
  • Core Leadership Area Chairs
  • Conference Committee
  • Presidents of local SHRM affiliate chapters in North Carolina

NCSHRM is a volunteer-led organization. Our typical process is for various volunteers to receive and respond to inquiries and manage all Council functions. Due to the volunteer-led nature of our organization, there may be a slight delay in response due to scheduling conflicts with work or other obligations. We appreciate your understanding and will respond as soon as possible.
