Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What are the differences between National SHRM and SHRM Loudoun?
National SHRM is a global professional society for HR professionals. SHRM Loudoun is a local, SHRM-affiliated chapter whose service area covers Loudoun County, VA. While the mission and goals are complementary, they are slightly different.
National SHRM's mission is to provide education, thought leadership, certification, community and advocacy to enhance the practice of human resource management and the effectiveness of HR professionals in the organizations and communities they serve.
SHRM Loudoun's mission is to serve our members and the Loudoun County community by promoting meaningful, long-lasting professional relationships and career growth; provide broad-based, superior quality programs on relevant and emerging topics; offer opportunities to develop as impactful business and volunteer leaders; and support and advance HR practitioners as vital strategic partners for organizations.
Can I belong to more than one local chapter at a time?
Yes! You can belong to more than one local chapter. However, only your primary chapter will be affiliated with SHRM. Please be sure to designate SHRM Loudoun as your primary chapter.
I am already a member of National SHRM. What can the Loudoun chapter offer me in addition to my National SHRM membership?
Being a local chapter member provides you with a local networking resource. You have the benefit of meeting other local professionals who are facing the same challenges that you are and can assist you with answers to your questions. You will receive invitations to SHRM Loudoun meetings, seminars, and professional development opportunities. The majority of our programs have been approved for SHRM certification credits, and we typically host over 10 events throughout the year. Additionally, there are leadership and volunteer opportunities to assist in your professional development and to give back to the HR community.
Why should I join National SHRM when SHRM Loudoun gives me all I need?
SHRM Loudoun is an affiliate chapter, so chapter membership requires membership in National SHRM. National SHRM provides certification, resources and the national community; the chapter adds local networking, programs and volunteer opportunities. The two work together.
When does the dual membership partnership between SHRM Loudoun and National SHRM take effect?
Chapter membership is good for 12 months from the date you join and is renewed annually. Chapter membership expires at the same time as your current SHRM membership, regardless of enrollment date. Any applicable Chapter dues will be prorated based on the number of months remaining on your current SHRM membership.
How much will the total membership transaction cost me?
Membership dues vary depending on the type of membership chosen. You will have the option to choose a 1-year, 2-year or 3-year package.
How will I pay for my membership?
You can join or renew both a SHRM national membership and a SHRM affiliated local chapter membership together through dual membership. Dual membership provides SHRM members and existing dual members the ability to obtain and renew both memberships in the same transaction.
What if my National SHRM and SHRM Loudoun membership expire at different times?
It is our goal to align your National and SHRM Loudoun memberships to renew and expire on the same date. If you have already paid SHRM Loudoun dues recently but need to renew your National SHRM membership, you will be offered a credit if it is due to you. If you underpaid, you will receive an additional invoice from SHRM Loudoun. Your following membership renewals will then be at the regular price and your expiration date will be the same for both organizations.
How do National SHRM and SHRM Loudoun identify me?
Your access to SHRM Loudoun is separate from your National SHRM account. Once you have made SHRM Loudoun your primary affiliate chapter, we will send you an email containing your SHRM Loudoun account details. If you have not received this email or if you have trouble registering or accessing your SHRM Loudoun account, please contact us for assistance. We highly encourage you to use the same email address for your National SHRM and your SHRM Loudoun accounts.
Who should I contact if I have additional questions about Dual Membership?
Please email the SHRM Loudoun board of directors, and one of us will reply within 72 hours.
