Also...Did you know? SHRM offers a onetime complimentary/free membership for HR professionals in transition. If you are an MIT with SAHRA or looking to join our HR family in the Sacramento region, you can also join a national (and international) network of HR professionals by contacting SHRM's Member Care team via phone at 800.283.7476 (U.S. only) or via email at http://forms.shrm.org/forms/contact-us

This is a great opportunity for people in between jobs, looking for a new career in HR and/or in other transition-related milestones in life. Membership in both associations will enhance career, professional network opportunities and increase HR-related resources available to you.
