National SHRM membership is now a requirement of having a CI-SHRM membership, i.e., Dual Membership. If looking to be part of Central Iowa SHRM, you must be a member of both organizations. The good news is our chapter membership cost will be less going forward than it is today.
CI-SHRM annual dues will be $46 (new lower price!). National SHRM dues are currently $264 per year, making the total cost $310 for Dual Membership through both organizations. Discounts are available for 2-year and 3-year memberships.
