About Us

    How It Started

    A SHRM chapter in the north state was originally chartered during the 1980s and was called North Valley SHRM, which disbanded some time early 2000s.  Members started gathering and a chapter started back up around 2003, and Northstate SHRM was officially rechartered as an affiliate chapter of SHRM on August 18, 2005. 

    The mission of Northstate SHRM is to engage and enlighten the HR professional and promote positive recognition of the HR community.  We seek to inspire HR and business leaders to advance their professional growth by providing education and networking opportunities that promote HR knowledge and leadership.

    Over the years, dedicated volunteer board members have worked to increase our visibility as a leader in Human Resources for northern California. In 2010 we increased our outreach to include members from Chico, Eureka, over to the Nevada border, and up to the Oregon border.

    We currently have over 195 members and we are building our membership each month with business owners, managers, HR and office professionals that seek professional development and connections with like-minded professionals.
